Quotes from two of us catalyze this session: (a) “It takes a village, a community to write an article, conduct research, prepare for workshops.” and (b) “Co-creating? That shit’s hard, man!” It does, it is, and we believe that together we can learn more about what is involved, leverage the challenges creatively, and get better and better at doing and being “co-.” In this conversational circle we will examine why’s and how’s, share resources, generate questions, and launch new collaborations.
