*Explore our systems leadership interview series:*
This workshop grows out of something we care deeply about at Educopia:
creating space for individuals and communities to share ideas, collaborate,
and tackle the complex challenges of the knowledge sector together. Systems
leadership is one framework we keep coming back to, because lasting change
happens when we build collective capacity, not just individual expertise.
That's the thinking behind our Systems Leadership Interview Series
<https://educopia.org/resource-library/#systems-leadership>, where we've
been talking with leaders who prioritize empathy, shared purpose, and
collaboration, especially in times of change. A few of the voices we've
been in conversation with:
1. *Madison Snider [Siegel Family Endowment]
<https://educopia.org/blog/an-interview-with-madison-snider-siegel-family-endowment-systems-leadership-series-5/>*
talks
about the power of friction, plural leadership, and what it means to build
technology with communities rather than for them.
2. *Anne Lee Steele [STUDIO SANSHIN]*
<https://educopia.org/blog/an-interview-with-anne-lee-steele-studio-sanshin-systems-leadership-series-4/>talks
about the evolving open ecosystem, the human side of systems leadership,
and what it takes to sustain collaborative digital communities today.
3. *Kimberly Jenkins [The Fashion and Race Database]
<https://educopia.org/blog/interview-with-kimberly-jenkins-the-fashion-and-race-database-systems-leadership-series-03/>
*traces
the fault lines of exclusion and erasure that run through the fashion
system, and explores the radical power of creativity, research, and
institution-building as tools for rewriting the narrative.
4. *Gita Manaktala [MIT Press]*
<https://educopia.org/blog/an-interview-with-gita-manaktala-mit-press-systems-leadership-series-02/>
shares
how university publishing can defend academic freedom, embrace innovation,
and expand who gets to create and access knowledge, even in a time of
profound change.
5. *Gabriel Solís [After Violence Project]*
<https://educopia.org/blog/an-interview-with-gabriel-solis-after-violence-project-systems-leadership-series-01/>
invites
us into a model of community-rooted, narrative-shifting systems change,
using restorative operations, staff-led mutual aid, participatory archival
practices, and abolitionist advocacy to transform how we respond to state
violence and preserve endangered forms of knowledge.
*This workshop is the next step in that conversation: a chance to not just
learn about systems leadership, but to actually practice it, in community
with peers who are navigating similar challenges.*
*Not sure where to start? Chat with us first!*
We're offering *free 30-minute office hours from July 13–24, *open to
anyone who wants to think through an organizational transition they're
navigating, learn more about the workshop, or just get a thought partner
for a challenge, tension, or question they're holding. *Book your slot via
Calendly!* <https://calendly.com/educopia-consulting-team>
We hope to see you there!
