PHASE TWO: RESULTS ARE IN.
From March 18th to 22nd DodoLab conducted a research project asking students, faculty, staff and community members at the University of Lethbridge where the university might be “laying its eggs on the ground,” referring to the unfortunate adaptation that led to the Dodo’s extinction. We spoke with over 125 people about change and the barriers to adaptation. Their responses revealed that many people were thinking deeply about the role of the university, today and in the future, for the students and also for society in general. The “eggs” below are a selection of particularly thought provoking responses. Further research will be conducted in the fall.
