Culturebot: Scanning the Landscape Discussions

These discussions will use a format inspired by Lois Weaver’s “conversation as performance” model The Long Table, which is informal, participatory and nonhierarchical. Special guests are invited to “seed” the conversation but anyone is invited to take a seat at the table and join in!
