Understanding “multiple lenses”
At The Mosaic Journal, "exploring community challenges through multiple lenses" means examining social issues from diverse perspectives to gain a more comprehensive understanding. Our "lenses" include:
-
Examining how societal structures, cultural norms, and community dynamics influence challenges.
-
Exploring the mental health impacts and individual experiences related to social issues.
-
Using data-driven approaches and research to analyze and address community challenges.
-
Considering how faith, meaning-making, and holistic worldviews intersect with social issues.
By integrating these perspectives, we aim to foster a more nuanced understanding of community challenges and inspire innovative, holistic solutions.
Whether you're a contributor or a reader, your perspective is valuable in our collective effort to build healthier, more resilient communities.
