I know I might have mentioned this before... but... Deleuze and Guttari’s (1987) notion of smooth (nomad) and striated (state) spaces is useful for thinking about the effect of pedagogies such as PBL on an institution’s instructional norms. Bayne (2004) puts it most succinctly: “Smooth space is informal and amorphous, striated space is formal and structured. Striated space is associated with arboreal, hierarchical thought, … opposed to rhizomatic thought – non-hierarchical, underground, multiply-connected. “(Bayne 2004, p. 303)

I show up. I make a conscious choice about how much space I choose to open for myself, for myself as a whole person to participate. Sometimes the space feels safer to me than other times. Regardless, it is my choice for me of how much space I open for myself in every situation, how much I choose to participate within that self created open space, and for how long I choose to keep the space for myself open. I appreciate the effort and love of the facilitator of the Open Space Technology meeting. The role is important, assuming it is carried out with care and love and clarity, to make visible that a bigger space is open and ready for participation. This is a valuable role. Yet, it is still me, that opens the space for myself...no one can do this for me. I appreciate the role of the sponsor is opening the space within the organization for a conscious opening of space for a particular theme to be explored. Sometimes the sponsor chooses to open a big space, sometimes it is a smaller space...Both are fine so long as there is honesty about the amount of space being opened. Yet, it is still me that opens the space for myself to consciously choose my participation. Now, I am wondering about the importance of providing the people who attend the OST meeting with the concept that the amount of space that they are opening for themselves is their responsibility.
