The Currency of Otherness: How Acknowledging the Limitations of Your Own Perspective and Authentically Channeling That of the Other Creates New Opportunities
Featuring ALAIN SYLVAIN
As society continues to reckon with discrimination across race, gender, and sexuality, what often gets lost is the profound value otherness has in creativity, invention, and innovation. The perspective of the other richly contributes to groundbreaking new ideas, behaviors, and cultural phenomena. In this talk, ALAIN SYLVAIN will draw on his personal experiences to argue that beyond the well-trodden arguments of diversity and inclusion, there is an inherent and unique value in taking perspective from the margins.
