Can Trust be Built Online? A Journey Toward Creating Brave Spaces.

What is Co-design?

Maybe you’ve recently made a commitment to Inclusive Design. Maybe you’ve found yourself ‘behind’ in the ‘racial awakening’ — maybe you’ve been asleep and missed the awakening of the last hundreds of years. No matter!

So gay

It was April 14, 1993 — a Wednesday. I was 17. My sister was 19 and was a student at Wash U in St. Louis, Missouri. I was probably a month away from high school graduation. I’d already confirmed I’d be going to Tulane University in the Fall. So, I…

My holiday awakening

Storytelling matters, to state the obvious. But storytelling in the context of teaching and learning might matter more than we acknowledge. What do you remember: the things you memorized a day before an exam, or the things that were contextualized in a moment, in a larger narrative of exploration, discovery…

An Attempt to Disrupt Education (part 2)

This follows Part 1 that appears here: https://jesshmitchell.medium.com/an-attempt-to-disrupt-education-cc44e64bce7 All of the details mattered: the door I entered, the hoodie sweatshirt I was wearing, my nervousness, my first time on campus and in this room, that split second first impression — this is the context in which we all began something…

An Attempt to Disrupt Education

Part 1 — I was nervous. It was the first day of class. I dutifully got there 15 minutes early and sat outside the classroom — thinking of just how to make a good first impression while feeling my heart beat hard in my chest. The class was scheduled to start at 7…

Binaries, boxes, the grid and sorting — an exploration through habit, form, function, art, and philosophy

So, I want to tell a story of a pretty pivotal moment in my life. I went to University in ‘the city that care forgot’. I knew next to nothing about the place, but I knew that in March, when my hometown in Missouri was a mix of mud and…

How to Avoid Burnout (maybe?):

and be ok. The Last Question Yours was the last question, Johnathan. You said, “how do you not burnout? How are you still doing this work? So many of the people I’ve known doing this work have burned out…” and I didn’t quite know what to say. The following flashed through my mind: …
