Applegate and Johnson will use polarity management theory to examine what polarities are and how they can help us interrupt White Privilege. Polarities are interdependent pairs and are a natural part of the energy systems in which we live and work. This energy is free and belongs to everyone and can be leveraged if you can see it. During our session we will learn to identify and leverage the tension (conflict) within the freedom and equality polarity in  relation to the conference theme this year - the color of money- and participants will also identify a  learning partner to continue the work after the conference.
