Metamodernism and the integral paradigm share a lot in common, yet also differ in important ways. How do we understand this? To what degree should these terms be conflated or kept apart? What unites them, and what constitute the meaningful distinctions? What role do things like sensibility, generation, emphasis, and epistemology play? This gathering will provide an opportunity to dig into this topic. To this end, metamodern thinker Brendan Graham Dempsey will offer some history and a bit of compare/contrast perspectives on the topic, which will be followed by Q&A and open discussion.
