The UIowa Liberating Structures User Group is a monthly casual convening for people to play around with Liberating Structures methods (http://www.liberatingstructures.com), discover their own practice for using LS in their classrooms and meetings, and to have some serious fun. You can think of this user group as a sort of peer support network that shares a similar interest and goal around the use of a particular technology: Liberating Structures. Knowledge is shared, ideas are sparked, and  lighthearted engagement thrives.

HPG Postdoc Ashley Cheyemi McNeil organizes and facilitates the UIowa LS User Group. Each meeting explores 2-3 structures (including the logistics of how to facilitate the structure through Zoom!), lead by Ashley and other participants. All participants are encouraged to try out leading the group through a structure that they may want to use in class or in a meeting, whenever they feel ready for a test-run. No previous experience required! Just a willingness to dance around with various approaches to making meaning through a group.
