It uses stories from food justice work during the COVID-19 pandemic to illustrate how the Power &amp; Positionality Wheel can center conversations about identity and equity in community partnerships, highlighting the potential for surprising and transformative results. The presenter draws on her own experiences as an academic-activist in the Building Collective Food Security Resilience Project to support participants to complete their own Power &amp; Positionality Wheels in real time, inviting them to explore the revelatory and sometimes uncomfortable spaces that this tool for self-reflexivity generates.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Many thanks and looking forward to connecting soon,<\/p>\n<p>Mikaela<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I hope you are all well!\u00a0I wanted to reach out to let you know about a presentation I will be hosting with my community partner, Joanne MacKinnon of Little Mountain Neighbourhood House, at Contested Spaces, Contested Impact: 2022 Symposium on Global Community Engagement this evening.
