Sue Woehrlin's areas of active inquiry include facilitating democratic participation, experiential teaching and learning, reflective professional practice, action-oriented research methods, community-based consultation and large scale strategies for whole systems learning and change. Woehrlin is particularly passionate about 'narrating change'—the intentional use of stories to effect participatory change. She is also engaged by interdisciplinary study of birds, pilgrimage, organic design metaphors and the dynamics of far-from-equilibrium emergent processes.

On Interest Area
"My passion is for exploring borderlands — the intersections between disciplines, voices at the margins and the spaces in between where self-organizing dynamics come into play."
