On my journey to discovering how to make a difference, I found myself drawn to frameworks and methodologies like:
- #TheoryU
- #OpenSpaceTechnology #ost
- #LiberatingStructures
- #DevelopmentalModelOfInterculturalSensitivity #dmis
Yet when I search for these on #Mastodon, they don't show up as often as I expected in a self-professed progressive space that clamours for #SystemsChange.
Anyone with similar interests, do you have any insight into why this might be?
No way—today I’m starting my new position as Assistant Professor of Practice at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in Guangzhou, China!
Over the next few years, I’ll be teaching and researching DMI design practices in a totally new context—just steps away from one of the world’s major manufacturing hubs. It’s bound to be wild.
But hey, don’t be fooled by the corporate-style photo or the fancy titles—I’m still the same A++ weirdo you all know.

Okay, another name for #DMIS is apparently #BennettScale which makes sense, since Bennett is the author.
Now reading the Wikipedia article.
#DMIS is a constructivist way of describing how people become more Interculturally adaptive.
It's on a scale, from ethnocentric to ethnorelative.
Denial, defense, minimization | acceptance, adaptation, integration.
