Description
Have you ever fretted over how to give sensitive feedback to a supervisor or funder, or been nervous to correct or disagree with someone because of how that might affect your reputation within a team?

We tend to associate power with formal titles or leadership roles, but its actual circulation and expression is a bit more complex. We’ll explore power within the workplace by orienting to some helpful frames for recognizing and interpreting its expression then root into some principles for what its ethical usage can entail.
