Folks interested in teaching #socinn, social design, long-haul social pattern-shifting, you may be interested in the 2023 syllabus for our "Fundamentals" course. Starting the 12th year today (!!). https://t.co/0NHFmooVAJ

Here's a nice write-up of the "Design for the Inevitable" event with @Hannahdup and @IxDAPGH. What if we learned to include the exiled, shadow aspects of human experience in our work and life? Thanks to Raelynn and Ashley at the great @dezudiopgh. https://t.co/q5AIk9zzYc

You may not know my dear long-time co-explorer @Hannahdup has been diagnosed with ALS. This has deepened our conversation with loss, grief, and "stubborn joy" (at all scales), and highlighted the way most of us avoid this "craft" in life and work. Let's talk about it.
“Human-centered” often faces away from disability, illness, and death, but this too is being human. How might we make welcome what we fear? Monday, July 17, 6-8pm CMU Collaborative Innovation Center Register: https://t.co/iXyYz9hdfG

Thank you for the valuable framing. "What if we’re giving up loneliness? What if we’re giving up hopelessness? Those are the stories I’m trying to tell and the stories that I think will make us brave enough to make the transitions we need to make."
"What are the stories that are constructive and liberating?" asks @jhalifax

Proud of this work. And fascinated by the way the work of assessment and evaluation is evolving as folks move their practices further into social complexity. We're learning and practicing our way in along with you all.
Long-haul work that aims for pattern-shifts, sturdy relationships & personal development—not only needs approaches other than "problem-solving," it can also be difficult to assess. Here we use "principles and directions" to ask, "How did we do in 2022?" https://t.co/cBPcDMcINW

Everyone's sick of conflict. If we want to transform it, we have to abandon assumption and simplicity in favor of listening and curiosity. Here are 22 questions to help you do it, from the work of @amandaripley. https://t.co/U6y56jgnI1

Another thing I've been interested in as of late is bringing warmth and an acknowledgment of complexity to diagrams, so loved this piece by @mrettig that starts with fears about gigamaps and then goes into amazing resources

99 steps of progress. “The next big thing is a lot of small things.” And many of these aren’t so small.
