Episode notes
Design As The Interdisciplinary Pivot
- Design acts as a DJ, mixing disciplines and applying knowledge into practice at the point of intervention.
- This makes design the critical pivot between theory and real-world regenerative change.
Teach Participation Not Control
- Complex systems are unpredictable, so science should be 'appropriate participation' rather than control.
- Educators must teach sensing, feeling and intuition alongside cognition to navigate uncertainty.
Educate For Place And Process
- Teach from place-based potential rather than abstract problem-solving and scaled solutions.
- Focus learning on capacities to adapt and respond to dynamically shifting contexts.
