Forum Tulane is an initiative designed to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and intellectual exploration through an annual university-wide conversation around a common theme. The theme for 2016-2017 is power.
Beginning with the premise that power, as energy, is omnipresent, unbalanced, and constantly in the process of being transformed, we seek to encourage critical inquiry into how power operates in our individual lives, communities, cultures, political systems, and economic structures.
Questions to consider include:
-What is power?
-What forms does it take?
-How do we as individuals wield power (agency) or act as conduits (in unconscious ways)?
-How do we develop and wield power ethically, with integrity and fairness?
-How do political and socioeconomic systems circulate, amplify, and constrain distinct forms of power?
-What impedes and enables the development of fair and just social structures where power is balanced?
-Faced with unjust forms of power, how do we act with courage, precision, and resilience?
