Robyn Penman has started a new publication, What if…?, on Substack. This new series of posts is a response to the almost overwhelming problems in our social world that challenge any genuine sense of justice or of democracy. To offer new possibilities, Robyn draws on CMM theory and social constructionism, asking “what if…? we did things differently. She writes about how we can make sense of, and act into, our social world so that we can collectively make a more just and more democratic society—one that we actually want to live in. Please read and support the publication by subscribing (free).

Robyn has published five posts to date and has plans for many more. Please have a look at what has been written so far:
