The Workshop Series provides a conversational space to share your work, try out new or different approaches, develop your thinking, and solicit/ receive meaningful responses from participants regarding your individual work. The workshops facilitate these critical practices through dialogue, writing exercises, and shared reflection. 

As a whole, our project aims to facilitate process-based approaches to research and pedagogy, leading us to move from thinking about specific case studies towards contending with larger questions and practices in the field. The Conference identified keywords/themes that currently drive the field, and The Workshop Series is designed to further these conversations by exploring their shared threads and encouraging participants to position themselves and their work in relation to these threads. This critical approach is integral to the process of developing our research and pedagogy, and is the guiding principle of our project. 

We hope that the workshop will provide you with points of connection with other participants and their work, as well as with opportunities to reflect/ rethink and push forward your own work, which you can then take with you as you begin to write your forum papers.

You are not required to respond to one another in written form, nor prepare presentations. Instead, we invite you to read one another’s briefs before the workshop so that we can enter the live conversation with a sense of shared knowledge of one another’s work.
