Research teams are organizational structures and a site for networked praxis. In this session, Dr. Mah will share practical examples of tools and strategies used by the lab to implement a skill development curriculum based on an academic year in a digital work environment. This session uses theory from public administration and the practice turn in social research as a foundation.
