Abstract
In this article we introduce ourselves and invite those new to the burgeoning Decoding organization, and/or to Decoding itself, to join this community of Decoders/Disrupters. We each describe our recent experiences as co-chairs of the Decoding organization in order to highlight key features of the Decoding/Disrupting model and frameworks of interest to newcomers. Specifically, we focus on the following features of Decoding/Disrupting: perspective-taking, the value of “outsider” frames of reference, and a focus on process and relationship-building. We reflect on what we have learned from our experiences as co-chairs about Decoding/Disrupting and creating an organization. We describe next steps for developing a Decoding organization that will serve as a home base for Decoders and Disruptors in a variety of geographic locations and epistemological contexts.
