Great to see this! What courage for two OS newbies to jump in like that. I'm curious about other experiences of hosting conversations about diversity using Open Space.
I co-facilitated a daylong OS for the faculty at a graduate school, sponsored by the Faculty Diversity Committee, and it was a very useful day of conversations and reflections. I have also seen trained diversity facilitators convene sessions in OS where important and powerful conversations are beautifully held, in part because of their training in doing so. There is a question whether OS is the right container when, for example, people can use the law of mobility to avoid conversations which might trouble their worldview. Or when, for example, the only people who convene conversations about sexism in the workplace are women. (Extend the example to racism, homophobia, etc.) What's your experience? Any ideas about theme or invitation or resources (like the posters) to help enhance the learning and transformation that's possible?
