May 10th: Ideas and techniques for using team time effectively in convergence research teams

Click here to view the May 10th INTEREACH webinar in which we hear from Dr Gemma Jiang on the importance of intentional use of team time. For this webinar, Dr Jiang was inspired by Andrew Carnegie’s book “The Gospel of Wealth”. Here, Dr Jiang equates “Team Time = Team Wealth”, and advocates for the use of Adaptive Spaces to create conscious, collective team time that will ‘give energy’ to the team. She explains that Adaptive Spaces are ways of coming together that plays with the dominant structure, processes, and culture that are ever present and often invisible in the traditional academic research environment. She then provides examples of Adaptive Spaces, offers some observations, and philosophical musings from her perspective as the facilitator of Adaptive Spaces.
