chapter six
This chapter covers
- Implicit and explicit ranking
- Symbolic violence and how it affects collaborative modeling
- How ranking affects the design and architecture
- Influencing ranking as a facilitator
In the previous chapter we talked about facilitating a collaborative modeling session. We also spoke about the responsibilities and the skills a facilitator requires, and how those help you facilitate. In this chapter, we’ll dive into the meaning and function of ranking in collaborative modeling sessions. When we’re talking about ranking, we mean a relative position in a social hierarchy. Social hierarchies come in many different forms, including collaborative modeling sessions. Where we position ourselves in a social hierarchy compared to others shapes how we think and behave. This means ranking is subjective.
