Q: What skills will I learn in the Fellowship?

Fellows will learn to deploy specific frameworks with some ease (including Adaptive Leadership, Critical Pedagogy and Immunity to Change) in settings where social justice interventions are both necessary and resisted, whether consciously or unconsciously. However, the Fellowship draws a distinction between skills and dispositions insofar as both are vital to the work. We have observed that effective interventions call for attitudinal shifts that enable one to hold steady in challenging environments and spontaneously muster creative responses to a situation as it unfolds. Skills come in handy but aren’t enough by themselves to help one navigate difficult encounters. We pay just as much attention to the development of the self as an instrument for change that does not flinch or fall apart under chaos.
