“The master’s tool will never dismantle the master’s house” (Audre Lorde from Sister Outsider, 1984)
As I enter my second year of the Sustainable Development Master’s at Utrecht University, I find myself deeply reflecting on sustainability dilemmas, leading me to critically engage with Audre Lorde: Can transformative change happen from within the system, using its own tools to dismantle (un)sustainable and (un)just challenges? I therefore joined POTRANSI, drawn to its potential for driving transformative change through social innovation, whilst simultaneously recognizing that transformation should be approached with a critical lens. I look forward to flourishing alongside POTRANSI by co-designing the Transformative Power Arena, mapping social innovation initiatives and networks, and conducting literature reviews.
