Background on how Muslims define home, work and a third space: One space in the domestic sphere (the family and the home); a second space is the sphere of civic engagement (including school, work and other forms of public participation); and a "Third Space" where individual, sometimes professional, and sometimes transgressive acts are played out: where people let their "real" selves show.

Nice questioning of what foresight and futures thinking are and could/should be. I like the idea that we shouldn't be looking for best practices as that partially defeats the purpose.

It was bound to happen: Data Cuisine isall about cooking up infographics that you can literally eat: a pizza that conveys the patterns of 100 years of Italian immigration, for example, or a salmon mousse that explores the environmental impacts of commercial fishing over the past decade.

For the past few years, the "sharing economy" has characterized itself as a revolution. Across the U.S., high costs of living are driving more of the employed toward "side hustles," i.e. unprotected freelance work, the kind fostered by the sharing economy.
