Host Joy Anderson reframes one of the most common narratives in moments of crisis: instead of asking how to stabilize and return to normal, she asks what disruption makes visible. Anderson speaks with The Systems Studio’s Rachel Sinha to explore the tensions inherent in building a field—from questions of legitimacy and power to who gets resourced and recognized.
