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 (!!).

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.

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?

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."

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?"

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.

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 mrettig.medium.com/a-note-ab…

Thanks for this! For the last ten years @Hannahdup and I have been teaching "not 'solutions,' not 'system design,' but *pattern shifting* at @SVADSI. It's so great to see this gathering and learning opportunity. Finally!
