“Everybody is a Somebody”…
A Dialogue on Classism in
Cooperative Extension
Liz Hilts, Western District Program Associate
Deb Jones, Western District Director
October 21, 2010
CE Values…Inclusiveness
We recognize, appreciate and honor the
differences, similarities and contributions of all
people and communities. We are intentional in
our efforts to ensure equity, justice and
fairness. We embrace new ideas and
approaches in our work.
Robert Fuller in Somebodies and Nobodies
(2003) suggests that rank divides us into
"somebodies" and "nobodies." More than most
care to admit, we treat others--and are treated by
others--based on our relative rank. The truth is
that each of us has felt like a somebody some
times and a nobody at others. A key to feeling like
a somebody is being recognized by others.
Without recognition from others, we may feel
discounted, disconnected, marginal, or even
invisible.
Somebodies and Nobodies
Somebodies and Nobodies
•Contribute your thinking
•Speak with your mind and your heart
•Listen together for deeper insights and
understanding
•All perspectives will be respected
•After the session, we can share what we
said…not what others said
Ground rules
•Think about the people you work with daily.
•Draw a diagram of your work team and how they
relate to each other
•Draw the team as it “feels” to you…NOT as it may
appear on the organizational chart.
•Some examples…
Let’s Get Started…
Example 1
Dept
Head
Ag Agent
4-H YD
Agent
“Our
secretary”
FL Agent
“My secretary”
Open loop
Example 2
Educator
Support
Staff
EducatorIntern
VISTA
Closed loop
Example 3
Doin’ my
own thing
Just
started…don’t
know what
I’m doing
Don’t care
what anyone
else is doing
Out in the field…never
in the office
Send
help
Anothersomeone
Need help
Someone
No loop!!
Sharing and Discussion
Nobodies Feel…
• Overlooked
• Discouraged
• Disrespected
• Excluded
• Demeaned
• Shamed
• Less-than-zero
Somebodies Feel…
• Noticed
• Encouraged
• Welcomed
• Appreciated
• Respected
• Included
• Esteemed
• Loved
I feel like a “nobody” when…
I feel like a “somebody”…
• Participate as a resource and assistant with all
colleagues
• Attend meetings and share ideas as an equal contributor
• Part of marketing initiative and movement
• Part of internship recruitment
• New Orleans Cultural Immersion participant
• My ideas are important for what I contribute; not based
on rank.
I Feel Like a Nobody When…
I Feel Like a Somebody When…
Organizational Culture
• Organizational silence is a barrier that occurs
when individuals or groups feel compelled to
remain silent in the face of issues, problems
or concerns. Organizations lose vital
information necessary for making change.
• Some work place cultures retard innovation
by focusing on the way things have always
been done.
• Have you ever been in a situation where you
have remained silent even though you had
information important for the decision or
problem?
• What contributed to your silence?
How are we doing in CE?
• Small group discussion:
– Things we do well
– Barriers to inclusion
• Large group sharing
Western District Examples
• Terminology:
– Never “academic staff”; “faculty”
– “Educators”
– Colleagues
• All colleagues in the office participate in Civil
Rights Days
• County support staff are recognized on
birthdays, Administrative Professional Day,
and with an annual in-service
• Recognize office teams at district meetings
Where do we go from here?
• Everyone has a role and shares responsibility
• Difficult conversations
– They are more about US than THEM
– It’s the RIGHT thing to do
– Change is not created without dialogue
Where do we go from here?
To really comprehend rankism, we
must be changemakers.
"Inclusion is a process of identifying, understanding
and breaking down barriers to participation and
belonging.“ Author Unknown

"Everybody is a Somebody" A Dialogue on Classism in Cooperative Extension

  • 1. Title Date XX, XXXX “Everybody is a Somebody”… A Dialogue on Classism in Cooperative Extension Liz Hilts, Western District Program Associate Deb Jones, Western District Director October 21, 2010
  • 2. CE Values…Inclusiveness We recognize, appreciate and honor the differences, similarities and contributions of all people and communities. We are intentional in our efforts to ensure equity, justice and fairness. We embrace new ideas and approaches in our work.
  • 3. Robert Fuller in Somebodies and Nobodies (2003) suggests that rank divides us into "somebodies" and "nobodies." More than most care to admit, we treat others--and are treated by others--based on our relative rank. The truth is that each of us has felt like a somebody some times and a nobody at others. A key to feeling like a somebody is being recognized by others. Without recognition from others, we may feel discounted, disconnected, marginal, or even invisible. Somebodies and Nobodies
  • 5. •Contribute your thinking •Speak with your mind and your heart •Listen together for deeper insights and understanding •All perspectives will be respected •After the session, we can share what we said…not what others said Ground rules
  • 6. •Think about the people you work with daily. •Draw a diagram of your work team and how they relate to each other •Draw the team as it “feels” to you…NOT as it may appear on the organizational chart. •Some examples… Let’s Get Started…
  • 7. Example 1 Dept Head Ag Agent 4-H YD Agent “Our secretary” FL Agent “My secretary” Open loop
  • 9. Example 3 Doin’ my own thing Just started…don’t know what I’m doing Don’t care what anyone else is doing Out in the field…never in the office Send help Anothersomeone Need help Someone No loop!!
  • 11.
  • 12. Nobodies Feel… • Overlooked • Discouraged • Disrespected • Excluded • Demeaned • Shamed • Less-than-zero
  • 13. Somebodies Feel… • Noticed • Encouraged • Welcomed • Appreciated • Respected • Included • Esteemed • Loved
  • 14. I feel like a “nobody” when…
  • 15. I feel like a “somebody”… • Participate as a resource and assistant with all colleagues • Attend meetings and share ideas as an equal contributor • Part of marketing initiative and movement • Part of internship recruitment • New Orleans Cultural Immersion participant • My ideas are important for what I contribute; not based on rank.
  • 16. I Feel Like a Nobody When… I Feel Like a Somebody When…
  • 17. Organizational Culture • Organizational silence is a barrier that occurs when individuals or groups feel compelled to remain silent in the face of issues, problems or concerns. Organizations lose vital information necessary for making change. • Some work place cultures retard innovation by focusing on the way things have always been done.
  • 18. • Have you ever been in a situation where you have remained silent even though you had information important for the decision or problem? • What contributed to your silence?
  • 19.
  • 20. How are we doing in CE? • Small group discussion: – Things we do well – Barriers to inclusion • Large group sharing
  • 21. Western District Examples • Terminology: – Never “academic staff”; “faculty” – “Educators” – Colleagues • All colleagues in the office participate in Civil Rights Days • County support staff are recognized on birthdays, Administrative Professional Day, and with an annual in-service • Recognize office teams at district meetings
  • 22.
  • 23. Where do we go from here? • Everyone has a role and shares responsibility • Difficult conversations – They are more about US than THEM – It’s the RIGHT thing to do – Change is not created without dialogue
  • 24. Where do we go from here?
  • 25. To really comprehend rankism, we must be changemakers.
  • 26. "Inclusion is a process of identifying, understanding and breaking down barriers to participation and belonging.“ Author Unknown
