Hello Aoir-friends! Are you in the Netherlands Feb 26j, 15-17h? Join us in Utrecht for a workshop on workshopping! Coffee, Tea, Cookies, a Fishbowl, and Demos! TL;DR It should be fantastic, if I don’t say so myself. Join us by learning more here A bit more backstory: The [1]Futures+Literacies+Methods Lab has teamed up with the Skagen Institute to invite a small group of research colleagues to participate in a 2-day workshop, Transgressive methods: at the intersection of futures, literacies, and participatory engagement. On day 1, we are conducting a 2 hour public workshop to discuss and showcase workshoppping techniques. Even more detail: Workshops are increasingly employed for participatory engagement. But what does it mean to approach workshop as a method? This workshop is an opportunity to discuss as well as engage with practices researchers have refined over time to design and facilitate workshops and prompt meaningful interaction. Open to anyone interested in developing or using workshops, the session will involve participation in pressure cooker demos with experts where participants will experience different styles and modalities of workshops, followed by a fishbowl style discussion about the intersection of futures, literacies and participatory engagement. Curated by Taylor Annabell, Ana Kubrusly, and Levien Nordeman. Includes demos from (notice the AoIR members!): Anna Hickey-Moody, Rebecca Coleman, Adi Kuntsman, Riccardo Pronzato, Christine Fox, Jessica Enevold Duncan, Joy Y. Zhang, Levien Nordeman, and yours truly. Learn more and sign up! [2]https://fll.pubpub.org/pub/24hnndae Warm Regards from Utrecht, annette Annette N.
