As in all communities, conflict in organizations is unavoidable. It is
also uncomfortable. In working through conflict, the question
shouldn’t be, “How do we prevent conflict?” but rather “How do
we address conflict in ways that are healthy and build a stronger
organization?” This workshop will help participants identify
conflict, even when its just a slow burning tension, and help us all
distinguish between what healthy and unhealthy conflict look like. In
the process we’ll share AORTA’s conflict resolution practices and
methods in order to get a jump start in developing processes tailored
to your own organization.
Please do not wear or apply strong smelling lotions, perfumes, etc.
before or during the training to make this space more accessible to
people with sensitivities.

PRESENTER INFORMATION:
Dana Pedersen's political awakening began as a young adult
participating in living wage campaigns on her college campus in
western Wisconsin. Since then, she has been on a trajectory of radical
systemic analysis, critique, and imagination. In 2015, she joined the
staff of Cooperation Texas to help develop worker-owned cooperatives
in Austin, Texas and, through this work, formed ligaments with others
in the solidarity economy movement. Her political involvements have
focused on promoting economic democracy and Black self-determination
in the South and conscientizing fellow tech workers within
traditional, capitalist corporations. Dana’s education in Sociology
and Communication Studies has produced close attention to how
discourses help create reality and the importance of developing frames
and narratives that liberate.
Dana’s deepest callings are to heal communities through creative
expression and transform conditions by facilitating critical turning
points for others. She excavates her own experiences as a queer,
Black, Caribbean American woman to understand power and oppression
more broadly and discover collective resources for change.
