Dr. Santina Contreras joins us this week to talk PARTICIPATION! Why has it become such a popular word and idea, and what does it mean to different people? Drawing on her experiences around the world, working with communities, Santina shares about how so called "participatory" activities can be empowering and...well...pretentious and divisive. Please join us!
