Episode #8 in which Riane Eisler talks about shifting our mindsets from domination to partnership, both in the world outside and in the work of social change itself.
Riane Eisler is an Austrian-born American systems scientist, futurist, attorney, and author who writes about the effect of gender and family politics on societies. Riane’s whole-systems research offers practical tools for constructing a less violent, more egalitarian, gender-balanced, and sustainable future.
Riane has authored many books, including The Chalice and the Blade, that considers the roles of domination vs. partnership in both societal and interpersonal structures. Her book The Real Wealth of Nations was hailed by Nobel Peace Laureate Desmond Tutu as "a template for the better world we have been so urgently seeking."
Riane founded the Center for Partnership Systems, which provides practical applications of her work, and she is editor in chief of the online Interdisciplinary Journal of Partnership Studies published at the University of Minnesota. She has taught at universities around the world, and has written hundreds of articles and contributions to both scholarly and popular books.
Among her many accomplishments, Riane has the addressed the UN General Assembly, and she has been awarded the Distinguished Peace Leadership Award – an award that was earlier awarded to the Dalai Lama.
