On Sunday April 5, I’ll be conducting a collaborative experiment with 15 intrepid University of Washington graduate students, and I’d like to invite you to join in from your own hometown.

But all of us have experienced more informal, less well-facilitated forms of discourse.

In a straightforward way, Marilyn explains how her team developed a participatory project to improve engagement in a gallery with an awkward entry.

So then we’ll talk about what are some participatory planning methods. I’m a big believer about putting things into the universe.
