Critical Commentary
In this video clip of an interaction in one of our Co-Imagining Futures workshops, an unplanned discussion regarding ethical implications and underlying assumptions with respect to the future of higher education and IT education occurs. Here, our invited expert Dr. Morgan Benton reframes and challenges some of the assumptions of the Futures Lab students, then York challenges and reframes Benton's assumptions, then Conley challenges and reframes Futures Lab students, and so on. This dialogue occurs well-into the workshop, at a point in which everyone seems to be developing more comfort with this kind of exchange. This moment illustrates one aspect of why experiments in critical participation are needed: here, a spontaneous ethical reasoning interaction is fun and integrated into a wide-ranging discussion about IT education with experts from different disciplines and students from different disciplines.
