The TL;DR key points
2. Assembling an annotated bibliography about metachangemaking 3. The development of models of metachangemaking
Models of metachangemakingHow do we make “changemakers”? Put differently, how do we empower people with the motivation and efficacy to make a positive impact, to contribute to the wellbeing of humanity?
I’ll assume you’re already interested in this question, perhaps for reasons which I discuss in this other post here. Kuhan Jeyapragasan and I were talking about this, and an idea came up in our discussions: we can explore this question by doing research into so-called “models of metachangemaking”. What is a “model of metachangemaking”? Well, let’s back up and look at a few concepts here.

The TL;DR key points
Making an impact: Why you should care about itImagine that you’re 80 years old, looking back on your life and all the things you have accomplished. What would you like to see? Perhaps you’d like to see that you had a happy life, a family and success in some line of work.
But I suspect you’d also like to see that you had made a positive impact in some way: that somehow others benefited from your existence. After all, when we step back to consider the question, what beauty is there in a life lived only in pursuit of one’s selfish ends? Presumably, then, this has implications for now: presumably we’d like to make a positive impact while we still can. |
