Danny Burns on The Collective Power of Collective Analysis. S1 Ep7

Danny Burns is an ARTist known for his work with Systemic Action Research, a strategy for whole systems change. Having been an activist in his youth, today his work today is funded by major donor philanthropy organizations. His focus is on alleviating systemic poverty around the world and is often in leading large teams. I talk with him about the practice of collective analysis in which those who are suffering analyze the causal chain of their problems and how to intervene. We focus on debt bondage in India and how a village got together to renegotiate temple donations and marriage expenses. We also talk about the use of internet tools, such as miro boards, which allow work with large teams to continue with a lower carbon footprint. Danny is also a founding ARTist member at Action Research Plus Foundation.
