I"We can't teach a person to be a therapist,
but we can provide a space in which they can learn to be one."

Harlene Anderson & Harry Goolishian

"Therapy" and "supervising" informed by postmodern premises involve similar processes--collaborative relationships and generative ocnversations--even though the context, participants and intent of the endeavors are different: Supervisors and supervisees connect, collaboratve and construct with each other to access creativity and imagination to create possibilities where none seemed to exist before.

Join Harlene Anderson and "superviors" from around the world--to jointly create a collaborative learning community in which to explore and expand "supervising" from a postmoder collaborative perspective (in universities, post-graduate training institutes, agency, business, and private contexts.. Drawing from the expertise and experiencees osf the participants, along with Harlene, the Symposium will focus on:

• What is collaborative learning?
• What does a collaborative learning philosophy value?
• What are the "characteristics" of a collaborative learning community?
• What does a collaborative learning community look like in action?
• What are the challenges of collaborative learning?
• How can we invite collabortive learning in hierarchical contexts and systems?

" . . . once one gives up on the search for foundations and the quest for certainty,
human inquiry into truth and knowledge shifts to the social communal circumstances under which
persons can communicate and cooperate in the process of acquiring knowledge."
Cornell West
