Here are some video talks I made for students over the years. These are not professionally produced Youtube videos, but hopefully the content will be interesting and useful. In these I draw upon my academic writing on these topics and for more detail and references, please review these publications. The examples are pulled from actually groups, but I have change the details to protect confidentiality.
2018 Naropa Online Group Video Lectures
I had about a week to make these before the course was launched, but luckily, I was in the middle of several writing projects that I drew on for these talks. I tried to explain the major ideas, but more importantly attempted tn provide multiple examples of how these ideas may manifest in groups. The feedback has been the content is very useful and interesting, but the talks are slow paced and people reported enjoying them with the playback speed increased.
