Dr Heikkilä and the Science of Participatory Culture

If you found a “hippie-proof” story-cube at a festival or in a
war-zone, would you share your story with it?


Stuart and Andie talk with Finnish scholar Jukka-Pekka Heikkilä,
about the Burning Stories project, the qualitative research of
hope and anger, the innovation at Burning Man Regional events in
Europe, and teaching entrepreneurialism in Lebanon and North
Korea. 


What more can we learn about Burning Man culture by studying it
academically? 


How do randomly assembled project teams knit themselves into
longer-term collaborative and creative relationships? Why does it
matter?


In a world with an unpredictable future, what more can we learn
about participatory culture, psychological safety, and communal
resilience?
