The Delicate Art of Interviewing Stakeholders
If interviewing a user is journalism, then interviewing a stakeholder is going on a first date. You're earnest about learning something from this person, but you also want to learn about this person. You may even be picturing yourself in a long-term relationship with this person, so to speak, and aware of the impression you're making.

Incorporating Social Permaculture into Institutional Evolution
Indigenous societies use the term right relationship to describe the alignment when humans are in harmony with the Earth, one another, and the will of divine. Right now, western society is peaking in its wrong relationship to all of the above; and scientists are saying that if we don't shift into alignment, 90 percent of humanity may perish by 2050.

The Zapotec languages are a group of around 50 closely related indigenous Mesoamerican languages that constitute a main branch of the Oto-Manguean language family and which is spoken by the Zapotec people from the southwestern-central highlands of Mexico. The 2010 Mexican census reports 425,000 speakers, with the majority inhabiting the state of Oaxaca. Zapotec-speaking communities are also found in the neighboring states of Puebla, Veracruz, and Guerrero. Labor migration has also brought a number of native Zapotec speakers to the United States, particularly in California and New Jersey. Most Zapotec-speaking communities are highly bilingual in Spanish.

The Guelaguetza [ɡelaˈɣetsa], or Los lunes del cerro, is an annual indigenous cultural event in Mexico that takes place in the city of Oaxaca, capital of the state of Oaxaca, and nearby villages. The celebration features traditional costumed dancing by gender-separated groups. It includes parades of indigenous walking bands, native food, and statewide artisanal crafts, such as Pre-Hispanic-style textiles. Each costume, or traje, and dance usually has a local indigenous historical and cultural meaning. While the celebration has attracted an increasing number of tourists, it is primarily one of deep cultural importance for the indigenous peoples of the state and is important for the survival of these cultures.
Women and the Gift Economy: The Alternative Paradigm
Genevieve Vaughan is an American expatriate semiotician, peace activist, feminist, and philanthropist, whose ideas and work have been influential in the intellectual movements around the Gift Economy and Matriarchal Studies. Her support also contributed heavily to the development of the global women’s movement. Vaughan was born and grew up in Corpus Christi, Texas. During her childhood, her family became wealthy through oil, and she developed a consciousness of the great disparity of wealth between her family and others’. She completed a B.A. in English from Bryn Mawr College in 1961, and subsequently enrolled as a graduate student at The University of Texas at Austin. In 2015, Vaughan released the book The Gift in the Heart of Language: The Maternal Source of Meaning (Mimesis International, 2015)
Farm to Fork Wyoming - Community Supported Agriculture
Community Supported Agriculture is not new to Wyoming, but few of us know the thrill it offers - a weekly box of surprises, straight from the farm spring through fall. Maggie McAllister makes this obscurely named enterprise work in Daniel, Wyoming. We'll also learn about the art of fermenting vegetables with Diane Saenz, UW Extension Educator.
Gift Economy: The currency in a gift economy is relationships. The currency becomes stronger anytime there is an equal exchange of gift giving. Gifts are given and received in joy, for the pleasure it brings both individuals in the relationship. A gift economy is not based on charity or panhandling, as these activities generally entail a one way exchange. It is also different than bartering. Gifts are not given with an anticipation of return. If a payment occurs from an anticipated benefit, it is not a gift. Payment made in return for services is not a gift. In a gift economy, you simply give. The intention of the giver is what matters. When you give generously, you can enjoy and trust that gifts come back to you generously at a time and place that is ideal in fulfilling your needs and desires. Also known as Gift Culture or Living in the gift.
