5 Welcome
Welcome to the XIII International Transformative Learning Conference!
We wholeheartedly welcome you to the ITL community and conference! We are delighted to host visitors from across the United States, Canada, Mexico, Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand, the Middle East and Africa!
This year marks the 20th anniversary of the First Transformative Learning Conference in 1998. Elizabeth Kasl shared the origins of that conference with us, saying “Jack thought he would invite ‘a few people’ who are interested in ‘talking about’ transformative learning theory. He didn’t think there would be many people interested. ‘There aren’t that many people interested in theory.’ He imagined ‘about 40.’ People heard about it and kept asking to be included. More than 200 came.” Over the years the conference has reflected Jack’s strong commitment to transformative learning as a Living Theory. As Elizabeth also shared another comment by Jack, which she loved, “I have taken it as far as I can; now it is up to others to contribute what they can.”
Conference Themes and Highlights Our conference theme—Building Transformative Community: Enacting Possibility in Today’s Times, was inspired by what community members in many parts of the world described as feelings of disruption and disorder. During the planning conversations that we held in the summer of 2017, we were drawn to positive “takes” on disruption that emphasized possibilities. Our original thoughts on disorder became transformed by Taj Johns’ call for us to become “possibilitarians”! This is captured in the Call for Proposals:
We seek to build an even more inclusive and transforming community to identify and build bridges between individual and community transformation. It is these bridges that will support us in living with a sense of possibility that we can navigate our shared experiences of disruption and turbulence. Transformative learning theory has grown and evolved and we are curious about what work people in other disciplines are doing that fits or expands the frameworks we have come to know so well. We are also curious about ways to make entry points more visible through greater understanding of context and level of system. And, we want to include the realm of practical knowing, to hear about how people are individually and collectively taking action to engage transformative learning and bring about change in their communities.
This theme has transformed the process of community building used to plan the conference. Michael Palmieri, our producer, describes the process he helped us launch for community building in his welcome letter. It also inspired a year-long Action Research study, described in the Proceedings. The study continues and through it we hope to actively engage others of you to share views and hopes for us as possibilitarians in the future. A second year long initiative is the Transformative Listening Project, which will launch at the conference. A paper describing this Project is included in the Appendices. Importantly, an Inclusion Committee was created to bring attention to how to thread and embed the values of inclusion throughout the conference and community. Lastly, we attended to opportunities for mentoring new members and emerging scholars.

6 Welcome
Themes explored in this conference echo the value that the adult learning community brings—through research and through practice—for transforming individuals—and also, for transforming groups, communities, organizations and society. Our keynote speakers, John Buck and Renee Owen, share an emerging infrastructure in the world for self-organizing systems that call for transformative learning in order to put our ideas into action in a world that demands changes in environments, climates and cultures in order to support and take advantage of what transformative learning offers. As Kurt Lewin wisely put it, behavior is a function of the interaction of the person and his/her/their environment. Our environment calls us to take action!
One common thread that extends throughout the conference attends to the spirit of exploring and extending transformative learning to look at it from different perspectives. The richness in the differences, in feelings, thoughts, and emotions, will extend to discussions of transformative learning throughout the conference. The Thursday morning plenary session will include a dialogue among people who are expanding the boundaries of transformative learning. The Transformation Spaces will build on the dialogue through engaging participants in a variety of activities to discuss, knead, and explore theories and perspectives on transformative learning from theory to practice.
A second thread woven through the conference is the significant connection between art and transformative learning. Our Proceedings cover painting is by TC doctoral student April Bang, for whom art has been transformative in her life and research agenda. Scholars and practitioners in our community have long used the arts to catalyze and explore transformative learning. This year we have mainstreamed the arts to inspire and catalyze our own transformation as community members and as researchers and practitioners in the world. We hope you talk to our artist activists in Everett Lounge and partake of performance offerings provided by our three resident artists: Marino Formenti, Bert Benally, and Fanshen Cox DiGiovanni.
A third thread that extends throughout the conference is a question that was raised at the end of the last conference in Tacoma, a question about who we are as a community of scholars and practitioners. This question, “Who are we in the process of becoming?” seems important to address in today’s times.
Planning Experience This conference planning process has been greatly enhanced by our partnership with Michael Palmieri, our Conference Producer. His vision for crowdsourcing the planning resulted in the formation of thirteen committees and subcommittees with over 50 volunteers from around the world. Together we all experienced the joys and frustrations of a complex planning model. One outcome is strong connections among the people involved, which is reflected in Petra Buergelt’s comment as she prepares to come from Australia to attend her first ITLC, “I feel like I’m coming to a family gathering.”
We look forward to engaging with you all during the conference!
Warmly,
Victoria Marsick Marguerite Welch Teachers College Saint Mary’s College of California Columbia University
7 Welcome
Welcome to #ITLC2018!
Thank you for choosing to attend our conference.
Throughout my life, one of my commitments has been to develop inclusive spaces in which individuals are integral and active members of the creation, production, and management of any effort we chose to undertake. In so doing, transforming individuals from participants into engaged stakeholders.
When Dr. Victoria Marsick approached me in January 2017 and invited my participation in the design and production of our conference, I chose to say yes and bring this commitment to #ITLC2018.
My goals for producing #ITLC2018 have been to: 1) Create a stronger and more engaged community by inviting new voices into it. 2) Create a conference that truly reflects our commitment to equity and inclusion. 3) Expand our international outreach. 4) Increase our visibility in the world. 5) Encourage conference participants and stakeholders to take actionable steps, via what they created, learned, and experienced, with which to make a profound difference in their lives, the lives of others, and the world. 6) Generate financial resources with which to support the future of the International Transformative Learning Association (ITLA). Though some of these goals will outlive the conference, I am happy to report that all are in the process of being fulfilled.
It has been a pleasure working in partnership with Dr. Marguerite Welch, Dr. Victoria Marsick, the 50+ volunteers from around the world, and our sponsors to bring our conference to fruition.
I wish each and every one of you a conference filled with adventure, laughter, and wonder.
Best,
Michael Andres Palmieri Conference Producer

11 12 Committee Member Acknowledgements
The planning of the 2018 International Transformative Learning Conference was conducted by members of thirteen committees and sub-committees. The Steering Committee, comprised of the co-chairs for each committee met monthly for over a year to coordinate the activities of the various committees. We learned a lot throughout the implementation of this distributed leadership model for conference planning, as is documented by the Action Research class at Teachers College.

The goal of the Global Learning Cities pre-conference program is to build a connection between Learning Cities and Transformative Learning, two areas of study that share common interests in Lifelong Learning, the Learning Society, and Adult Learning (formal and informal). Connecting these fields in a tangible way could spur new lines of research, help develop global and local partnerships, and strengthen a transformative learning focus in community development research and practice locally and globally.
The theme of the pre-conference session, “Global Learning Cities: Empowering Citizens and Transforming Communities,” allows for discussion around transformative learning and intersections with power and marginalization, quality of life, leadership and mentoring, entrepreneurship, spirituality and mindfulness, and sustainability.

A special focus for this year’s conference is on the dynamic relationship between art and performance, and the transformative experience. To explore this relationship further, we are excited and honored to have three Artists in Residence join us at ITLC 2018, each providing a unique opportunity for connection, engagement, and reflection.
21 Artist in Residence: Bert Benally
Communal Sand-Painting, Bert Benally Russell Hall - Gottesman Library, Second Floor
Thursday, November 8, 1:00pm - 5:00pm | communal sand painting Friday, November 9, 10:30am - 5:00pm | communal sand painting Saturday, November 11, 12pm - 7:00pm | final viewing Saturday, November 11, 12:30pm - 1:00pm | artist discussion
Bert Benally will facilitate the creation of a communal sand- painting where participants can together identify an area causing disharmony in and find a symbol or some kind of visual representation of the problem and another symbol or representation to correct that problem. The participants can sand paint that onto the sand. The communal sand-painting will be created over the days of Thursday and Friday, with the final production available for viewing and discussion on Saturday.
Bert Benally, is a Diné artist from the Navajo Nation now living in New York City, where he is a doctoral student at Teachers College at Columbia University. Benally recently collaborated with Chinese dissident artist, Ai Weiwei, on an artwork titled Pull of the Moon. It is a collaboration for Navajo TIME (Temporary Installations Made for the Environment) and is located deep in the desert of the Southwest, amidst the dramatic scenery of Coyote Canyon.
“Harmony” is at the foundation of the Diné philosophy of life and plays a central role in all of Benally’s work.
22 Artist in Residence: Fanshen Cox DiGiovanni
One Drop of Love, Fanshen Cox DiGiovanni Cowin Center - Horace Mann 147
Friday, November 9, 6:00pm - 7:30pm
One Drop of Love is a multimedia solo performance by Fanshen Cox DiGiovanni. One Drop uses the ever-changing racial categories on the U.S. Census as the historical backdrop to this interactive show. Fanshen parallels this history with her own, and her family’s, search for roots, identity and for justice. Audiences will travel from the 1700s to the present, to cities around the U.S., and to West and East Africa, to pursue more truth – leading to more justice – and then, perhaps to LOVE.
The ultimate goal of the performance is to encourage the discussion of race and racism openly and critically and to encourage a commitment to making the world more liberated for all.
Cox DiGiovanni has been featured in the New York Times and on NPR as a spokesperson on using the arts to explore racial identity. She served as a Peace Corps Volunteer, and has been honored with the Peace Corps’ Franklin H. Williams Award, and with Peace Corps Fellows and Hollywood Foreign Press Association scholarships. She is also a Founding Board Member of MixedRootsStories and serves on the boards of Project Greenlight Digital Studios and the Annenberg Inclusion Initiative. She is also the co-author of the Inclusion Rider, a legal document that encourages equity and inclusion of under-represented voices in the creation and production of content in Hollywood made famous by actor Frances McDormand in the 2018 Academy Awards ceremony.
Fanshen Cox DiGiovanni’s performance of “One Drop of Love,” has been generously sponsored by Teachers College at Columbia University - Office of Student Affairs, and the Office of icethe V President for Diversity and Community Affairs.
23 Artist in Residence: Marino Formenti
Room Without Words, Marino Formenti Milbank Chapel - Zankel Building
Thursday, November 8, 11:30am - 9:00pm Friday, November 9, 10:30am - 9:00pm (short break from 2:30pm-3:45pm for discussion with scholar Laura Formenti)
“Room Without Words” is a unique kind of interactive musical space conceived by Marino Formenti for the 2018 International Transformative Learning Conference. The set- up is simple and clear: A piano, several instruments that can be played by anyone who comes in, musical scores for those who can read music, drinks to help time become more spherical, and comfortable seating to further break with the one-way-hierarchy, which is typical of traditional music performance. There is only one strict rule: No words are exchanged with anyone, including Marino.
“Room Without Words” is an invitation to musical interaction of any form: everybody can play or just relax and listen, jump in, and visit or leave the space at any time, and thus explore together musical dimensions and musical togetherness.
Marino Formenti’s unusual combination of emotion and intelligence characterizes him as one of the most interesting musicians of our time. Lauded as “Glenn Gould for the 21st century” by the Los Angeles Times he first made a name for himself through his interpretations of contemporary music. Formenti’s orchestral engagements have included performances with the New York Philharmonic, Munich Philharmonic, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Gustav Mahler Chamber Orchestra, Orchestre de la Suisse Romande.
We are grateful to the Earle Brown Music Foundation Charitable Trust for its sponsorship of Marino Formenti’s “Room Without Words.” Please visit http://www.earle-brown.org/ to learn more about the foundation and its Time:Spans Contemporary Music Festival.

29 Arts Reflection Threads (ART)
Arts Reflection Threads | ART Horace Mann (@ Registration) | Zankel Building - Everett Lounge & HM 152
Thursday - Saturday | Breaks & In-Transit between Sessions
A compelling theme that emerged during the planning of ITLC 2018 was the capacity of art and the aesthetic encounter to induce a transformative experience. In addition to the participatory opportunities offered through the Artists in Residence, we invite you to become the creator (or co- creator) of your own (or shared) artistic work.
During breaks, or as you move through the buildings from one session to the next, we encourage you to reflect upon your experiences and to use the provided art materials to respond to the six threads draws from the conference themes:
Frameworks, Community, Possibility, Context, Today’s Times, Enacting
The art materials will be in and outside of Everett Lounge (Zankel Building) and HM 152, as well as foam core boards upon which to draw, or attach your work. You might choose to respond to other people’s works, as well. This is an opportunity to reimagine dialogue and conversation.
It is the intention to have a gallery walk of the works at the Closing of the conference, and the works will be recorded and shared on the Facebook page and YouTube Channel.
30 Stories Project
This year marks the 20th Anniversary of the International Transformative Learning Conference and we are committed to hearing and recording your stories of what transformative learning means to you and how you see it growing and changing. We are also interested in hearing your work with transformative learning.

Whatever else can, and needs to, happen in the many places in the world where dialogue and conversation are needed, listening is a key, core feature of any of those potential meetings of people, sharing, responding, and collaborating on their relationships, their communities, and their world.

Conference Schedule 37
35 Keynote Speaker: John Buck
Keynote | John Buck Cowin Center - Horace Mann 147
Friday, November 9, 9:00am - 10:00am
Keynote Address: Sociocracy & Transformative Learning
One factor limiting the spread of transformative learning is autocratic structures because they tend to isolate groups from each other, including at universities. Sociocracy and other new management methods suggest that cross- functional, quasi-conscious teams can transcend such structures and promote knowledge diffusion. The keynote address led by Buck and his colleague Renee Owen, explains and demonstrates these concepts through a very interactive audience exercise and an example of an organization that has successfully used cross-functional teams. Programs grounded in transformative learning theory can apply these ideas right away.
John Buck is a coauthor of book about sociocracy: We the People: Consenting to a Deeper Democracy, (second edition 2017) and Company-Wide Agility with Beyond Budgeting, Open Space & Sociocracy (2018). Both works stress the importance of establishing organizational structures that foster continuous learning; not only learning that accumulates knowledge, but that also makes changes in the perception of self, mental frameworks, and behavior.

47 Mezirow Scholarship
In 2015, family, friends and alumni came together to honor the works of this leader of learning. They set forth to create a fund dedicated to students in the Adult Learning & Leadership and Adult Education Guided Intensive Study (AEGIS) programs.
As a Teachers College faculty member from 1968 to 1999, Jack developed a paradigm-changing theory of adult learning that reached beyond traditional emphasis on mastery of basic skills. He envisioned the potential for dramatic change in an individual’s goals, world views and a sense of self. Inspired by the experiences of his wife and muse, Edee, Jack undertook a massive study of women returning to a higher education in later life. When he presented the results (later published as Transformative Dimensions of Adult Learning) at the 1991 Adult Education Research Conference, he received a standing ovation.
Seed funding for the Scholarship was provided by the estates of Jack and Edee, and their son, Andy. The fund honors their contributions to the College in perpetuity for scholarship assistance and students in need.

49 International Transformative ITLA Learning Association
The purpose of the International Transformative Learning Association shall be to promote critical scholarship, research, teaching, application and praxis of the social, scientific, artistic, and humanistic principles of transformative learning theories and praxis.
We define Transformative Learning as the process by which we call into question our taken for granted frames of reference to make them more inclusive, discriminating, open, and reflective so that they may generate beliefs and opinions that will prove more justified as a guide for action. Although this definition of transformative learning originates from Jack Mezirow’s theory of adult learning, this Association embraces the wide array of disciplines that explore learning that cultivates fundamental change in human systems — individual or collective — in how they perceive themselves and take action in the world.
In January 2013, a group of Transformative Learning thought leaders, seasoned scholars, advanced practitioners, and novice academics gathered in person and with the assistance of technology to explore and live into the inquiry: Who have we been and who are we becoming as a community devoted to the living theory of transformative learning?
This group adopted the title of Stewards and has convened periodically (virtually and in-person), since 2013. The Stewards’ activities have focused on supporting the steering committees of Transformative Learning Conferences (primarily in the US), with the intention of providing vision and continuity, acquiring not-for-profit status (achieved in 2017-2018), and in developing the first, International Transformation Learning Association Patricia Cranton Distinguished Dissertation Award, which is being awarded at this year’s conference.
