**Project Details**:
This project will ask one Graduate Research Assistant, interested in design, wholistic pedagogy and communication, to help create a comprehensive digital text/video project. The project’s intent is to accumulate, sort and structure a vast amount of information that was collected during a 2022 Undergraduate assignment called The Rhizome.
Inspired by Deleuze and Guitari’s concept of the Rhizome (A Thousand Plateaus), the intention with this assignment was to activate community and knowledge-building using new software in a way that reflects the decolonized / de centralized / wholistic vision of my Teaching Philosophy.
The assignments was student cantered. Each week student would add to a communal Miro Board using text/links/videos/drawings/research papers/YouTube etc. Each addition was networked to another student post. The purpose of the assignment was to fill gaps in the weekly discourse, add new knowledge, develop ideas of interest, find new connections to themes, and develop a class network (or rhizome).
