Beams and Struts is an experiment in collective intelligence. The modern knowledge quest has largely been characterized by specialization and analysis, issues broken down into their component parts and studied in isolation. The postmodern period has brought with it many advancements, but has also left a lot of fragmentation in its wake. It’s now time to find out how that vast body of post/modern knowledge hangs together. This is the age of integration and synthesis.

Since no one person can possibly accomplish this project alone, we’ve gathered an assemblage to work together. The intention behind the site is to inquire into, envision, and help usher in the post-postmodern world. We live in a troubled time rich with possibilities for transformation. Beams and Struts is a place to exchange information, share perspectives, and initiate action. Together we can make a complex world understandable and act appropriately within it.

The site is organized around four different lengths of writings: essays, articles, bits & pieces, and twitter. The essays are for longer, more in-depth and detailed exploration of topics.  The articles are medium length pieces, like you'd find in a magazine. Both are peer-reviewed before they're published. Bits & Pieces are short, quick posts on all kinds of things.

If you have something to contribute to Beams and Struts, send us a message through Contact Us. We look forward to hearing from you.

Now, let’s come together and let the future emerge.
