Writing & talks

The inquiry,
in public.

Presentations, published writing, and reflections connected to the Collective’s inquiry into attention and shared life.

Attentional Literacy in the Age of Algorithmic Capture

The final project presentation from the Evermay Future Fellows residency explores attentional literacy and attention as a public skill.

The developing research focuses on a competency framework and a proposed K–12 pathway. Middle school afterschool settings are the preferred starting point for a later proof of concept.

Third Spaces: Who Uses Them and Who Benefits

An essay on shared places, belonging, and the conditions that make room for attention and human connection. This related writing places contemplative questions in a wider social setting.

The article opens on page 11 of the magazine’s digital edition. See the publisher’s post on Facebook.
