SUMMARY:CANCELLED: Mapping Public Joy - A Workshop with Jay Pitter
DESCRIPTION:This workshop has been canceled. We’ll share details after the event on how to sign up for Jay’s virtual office hours session.\n\n-&nbsp\;\n\nBased on Jay Pitter's Public Joy Framework\, which positions public joy as civic\, cultural\, and spatial infrastructure\, this introductory workshop exposes participants to key elements of a public joy mapping and analysis methodology. Participants will engage in a guided\, participatory mapping exercise exploring how people\, places\, policies\, practices\, and everyday rituals contribute to or constrain public joy. Insights will be synthesized in real time\, using participants’ own examples to surface patterns\, gaps\, and opportunities. The session is designed to offer a high-level understanding of how public joy can be assessed in practice\, while introducing select components of the broader methodology. Participants will gain insight into how aspects of the mapping approach can be applied within their own contexts\, with appropriate attribution\, and how to begin interpreting findings through structural lenses such as policy\, resources\, governance\, and place-based narratives.
