I guess that time went by fast and my solo show is rapidly approaching.

Delia Grenville, Ph.D. is an engaging presenter and I have no doubts that this webinar will be jam-packed with helpful insights and ah-ha moments. I highly recommend this to all those that wish to unpack what workplace mobbing is, how to recognize it and how to play an active role in creating better work environments. Basically, I highly recommend this to everyone because, as Dr. Grenville (and dear friend Delia) says: "everyone deserves to work in a positive and supportive environment."

During more than two decades in senior roles in high tech I have accumulated an immense repertoire of stories that highlight the sordid underbelly of silicon valley and techno-centric organizations. In Septemper my solo art show debuts at imperfecta - it will include a number of such stories - stories that many women in leadership are familiar with.If you are local, please come to the opening reception on September 7, 5-7pm. If you are far, please support by learning about my stories and, more importantly, support women in the workplace.https://lnkd.in/dE54cdnS#womenleadership #siliconvalley #womensupportingwomen #womenartists #womenownedbusinesses #womenintech #techleaders #workplaceculture #workplacemobbing #workplacebullism #recoveringfromhightech #storytelling #workplace #artshow #artexhibition #workplacenetherworlds #patriarchy #stoppatriarchy

Excited for Routledge's International Handbook of Contemporary Participatory Design to come out!Edited by Rachel Charlotte Smith,Daria Loi, Ph.D., Liesbeth Huybrechts,Heike Winschiers,and Jesper Simonsen, this publication offers a comprehensive overview of key themes and agendas in contemporaryParticipatory Design across diverse disciplines, continents, communities, and practices. Building on Participatory Design’s core values of empowerment and democracy, the handbook explores how the field is developing and diversifying to address contemporary societal challenges in a global community. The handbook will be available for pre-order on September 19, with shipping after October 10.As Lucy Suchman (Professor Emerita of Sociology, Lancaster University, UK) wrote about this handbook: "Amidst growing awareness of the need for future making projects that decentre the role of top-down and profit-driven institutions, thisHandbookoffers an update on the premises and practices of participatory design. Designing here is not a goal or artifact-oriented task to be completed, but ongoing engagement in the resource-differentiated locations, contested politics, relations, knowledges, and collective practices through which transformative possibilities are materialized. As reflected in these writings, the field itself is opening to include sites of design innovation beyond the parochial boundaries of the hyper-developed world, including pluriversal social movements aimed at unsettling, reparation, transition, and regeneration. As a sign of the field’s maturity, and consistent with its commitment to learning in doing, these chapters offer more in the way of critical reflection on troubles encountered than on their neat resolution. It is precisely for this reason that theHandbookwill be an invaluable resource for researchers, teachers, students, and practitioners interested in the history and present of the field, as well as those already engaged in projects of participatory design who are looking for renewed inspiration."#participatorydesign #design #book #handbook #democraticvalues #globalcommunity #societyhttps://lnkd.in/gQFdDh9P
