Our #designresearch @ParsonsTransD has already led us to question the need to reduce ambiguity & instead explore how we might embrace & celebrate #uncertainty.

While this article is interesting, it continues to make *certainty* our "normal" & our goal. https://t.co/AeP5Z69Hpt

[Nicole Anand @nicole_anand]

Higher #learning will grow in this moment. Faculty @ParsonsTransD have transformed the program & students are engaging in vastly different ways. It's been an encouraging & inspiring first 2 weeks. In #designresearch we're exploring how we facilitate within new (normals).
