Looking for clever, curious folx

Sift. Shift. Lift. introduces you and other likeminded readers to the work of academics, journalists, artists and activists digging up forgotten histories — or digging into today’s issues — and then bringing what is unearthed into the light. Engaging your head, your heart and your hands in the struggle, one wicked problem at a time.

Once or twice a week, I send out a carefully curated newsletter.

  • Together, we sift through research and rhetoric, policy and propaganda, to get to the root of an issue.

  • We check out art and artists (visual artists, filmmakers, playwrights, musicians and writers) whose work just might shift our awareness, biases, and assumptions.

  • Finally, we consider what we can do to lift up people and organizations striving to transform themselves and our world through compassionate action.

Occasionally, the essay is replaced with a profile. Expect short, engaging interviews with clever, curious, compassionate folx who are digging deep, making changes, and lifting up people and organizations making a real difference in the world.
