    CURRENT INTERESTS + RESEARCH

    Dr. Goldkind has a deep commitment to social justice and a keen interest in work that focuses on creating equity and equal opportunities for all humans. As a social worker who has focused on macro practice, she is also interested in organizational development and evaluating organizational effectiveness across all areas (including use of technology, defining notions of accountability and leadership development).


    Dr. Goldkind’s current research has two strands: technology implementation and information and communication technologies (ICT) tools in human services and nonprofits and social justice and civic engagement in organizational life. Wherever possible she combines both ICT and social justice for a sauce of tech enhanced civic engagement and improved organizational functioning.

  • Open space technology

    Open Space Technology (OST) is a mechanism for facilitating self-organizing meetings. It was founded by Harrison Owen.

     

    There are four rules governing the OST process:

    1. Whoever comes are the right people
    2. Whatever happens is the only thing that could have happened.
    3. When it starts is the right time
    4. When it's over it's over

    There is one rule in OST meetings, the Law of Two Feet. It goes like this:

     

    “If at any time during our time together you find yourself in any situation where you are

    neither learning nor contributing, use your two feet, go someplace else.”

     

    It's a super model for tackling thorny, complicated problems.

     

    Here are some resources for learning more about it:

    "I am one with the Force. The Force is with me"

    Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

    We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.

     

    Tina Fey, Bossypants

    “Some people say, ‘Never let them see you cry.’ I say, if you’re so mad you could just cry, then cry. It terrifies everyone.”

    Teresa Welsh - Data Mine

    Currently, 2.5 billion people globally don't have access to improved sanitation facilities – meaning more people have access to mobile phones than to toilets.

    Einstein

    Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.

    Barak Obama, POTUS - Guns are our shared responsibility

    "Even as I continue to take every action possible as president, I will also take every action I can as a citizen. I will not campaign for, vote for or support any candidate, even in my own party, who does not support common-sense gun reform."

    Samuel Beckett

    ..I can't go on, I'll go on..

    James Baldwin

    “To be black and conscious in America is to be in a constant state of rage.” 

    Dreams

    Langston Hughes, 1902 - 1967

    Hold fast to dreams

    For if dreams die Life is a broken-winged bird

    That cannot fly.

    Hold fast to dreams

    For when dreams go

    Life is a barren field

    Frozen with snow.

    Mark Strand 1934 - 2014

    In a field
    I am the absence
    of field.
    This is
    always the case.
    Wherever I am
    I am what is missing.

    When I walk
    I part the air
    and always
    the air moves in
    to fill the spaces
    where my body's been.

    We all have reasons
    for moving.
    I move
    to keep things whole.
