Theme: (Questioning our) Questions on modes of knowing

Participants were invited in advance to bring one question they carry with them related to ways or modes of knowing — not to answer it, but to inquire into it. The format proposed moving from individual questions through pattern-finding toward a shared meta-question, which the group would then explore dialogically. A shared Zoom whiteboard was used to capture, annotate, and visually arrange the questions as the dialogue evolved.

Stimulus

Participants were asked to share the questions that they had brought. The group held them as a cluster, querying each in relation to the others.
