A knowledge studio is part graduate seminar and part design studio, a place where ideas get judged for novelty and everyone midwifes everyone else's creativity. In the Epistry synthesis I sum it up as creative, cosocratic and compositional.
How the word moved
In October 2019 I complained that academia has no such studio, nowhere for experienced researchers to critique the creative ideas of students. In August 2024 I finally defined it, in the Multispecies Studio essays about Shaktiville.
In my words
"There's no knowledge studio in which more experienced researchers critique the creative ideas of students."
from Presearch, 14 Oct 2019
"Every participant in the studio should be a midwife of the other participants' creativity and wisdom."
