“IST of an ISM: Systemically Dominant and Systemically Non Dominant™”
IST of an ISM™ paradigm and the language of Systemically Dominant ™ (SD) and Systemically Non Dominant (SND)™ used within are the trademarked language created and coined by Dr. Debra (Debi) Jenkins, PhD (1995-Present). Please use the document or other citing suggestions within it to cite her language and work. She has added it in a concept paper titled, A Critical Lens to Rethinking Power, Privilege, and Inequity Language: IST of an ISM Systemically Dominant and Systemically Non-Dominant. A copy is available at no cost in the shop.
“It is about proximity to systemic power at the intersections which positions us to dominance or non-dominance with social/societal capital! An IST of an ISM™ is the one that the system was created to benefit. Developmentally, we all can be prejudiced, biased, perpetuating, etc. However, only the people the system was created to benefit can be the IST of an ISM™.”
