Nora Bateson (born April 13, 1968) is an American author, film-maker, and lecturer. She founded the International Bateson Institute to support the study of complexity in living systems, and she founded the Warm Data Labs to apply her research to public discourse.
Bateson achieved international recognition for her first book, Small Arcs of Larger Circles Circles: Framing through Other Patterns, (Triarchy Press, UK, 2016), selected by the Harvard Innovation Lab to help incoming students frame the challenges of social change.
Bateson is the daughter of Gregory Bateson, sister of Mary Catherine Bateson, and grand-daughter of genetics pioneer William Bateson. Her independent film about the life and work of her father, An Ecology of Mind, won the Gold Medal for best documentary at the Spokane Film Festival and the Audience Choice award for best documentary at the Santa Cruz Film Festival (2011), and earned the John Culkin Award for Outstanding Praxis in the Field of Media Ecology (2011).[1][2][3]
She is an Associate of The Taos Institute; a Board Member of Human Systems Journal of Systemic Practice, the Institute for General Semantics, Board Member of the Capital Institute, Fellow of Lindisfarne Foundation; a member of the Club of Rome, Great Transition Foundation, and Human Potential Foundation; and has won the Sustainable Thompkins Ecology Award, and was the 2019 recipient of the Neil Postman Award for Career Achievement in Public Intellectual Activity.[4]
Her work incorporates themes of ecology, anthropology, cybernetics, communication theory, and social sciences. She describes her "trans-contextual" approach as an effort to answer the question: “How can we improve our perception of the complexity we live within, so we may improve our interaction with the world?”
