Communicating Complexity

I had been meaning to sit down and write this for a while, but was only recently inspired to sit down and do so. The question I had been asking was one of how we might clearly and valuably communicate complexity to audiences with little to no know advanced knowledge of it.

My goal was to sketch the beginnings of an approach to introducing complexity to others that went around methods that are terminology and theoretically focused. Instead, I wanted to situate complexity within the audience's context and communicate it experientially where complexity is experienced.

The implications and experience of theory are used instead of theory itself to dispose an audience toward the world around them in complex ways through a lightweight approach.

One of the opening paragraphs discusses the importance of searching for understandings and practices similar to complexity that might already exist in the community, practiced in culturally specific ways. Areas that evince an understanding close to complexity may serve as a foundation.
