Sheila Mengert

Sheila Mengert is a transwoman and writer advocating for social change through systems thinking and organization design. She is currently completing a book of essays to be called Apocalypse Deferred that uses a postmodern set of insights as applied to contemporary events and institutions. Sheila sees history as the bondage of youth to the outdated aspirations of prior social models characterized by age-based inequality where youth is colonized to create scarcity of resources and to relieve the dying generations of anxiety at their own waning powers and vanishing dreams. If an apocalyptic style of thinking and current crises can yield to a critical reassessment then a transfer of influence, values, and assumptions can empower youth to use interconnected and cooperative populations as ecosystems to spread enlightened goals in a post-empire and post-colonial world. Sheila works with Blue Forge Press and Blue Forge Films.
