October 12th: Articulating the Value & Practice of Science Facilitation

Click here to view the October 12th INTEREACH webinar, the third installment of the Fall Series: The Art & Science of Making Meaningful Moments – Subtle Strategies & Creative Conditions for Effective and Uplifting Facilitation. In this webinar, our presenters Amanda Cravens, Research Social Scientist at US Geological Survey, and Megan Jones, Research Scientist at Colorado State University, present work in progress and invite participants in the discussion to co-develop and deepen our understanding and practice of facilitation. They do this by creating a space for the group to devote time and attention to metacognition and conscious reflection. They propose that science facilitation is a form of facilitation that accounts for the interaction between the cognitive/intellectual with the interpersonal aspects of scientific collaboration and knowledge-making. Their work has been submitted for review, and we will link to it, upon publication.
