Episode notes

In this episode of Just Space, we speak with Dr. Nicole Foster, a planning professor and community-based cultural practitioner based in Ashland, Wisconsin. We explore how Nicole's past in community theater in the Bronx has shaped her practice and teaching, particularly the impact it has had on her approach to co-creating narratives and experiences with communities. Reflecting with Nicole has served as a reminder of how often smaller communities are overlooked in the fields of planning and economic development.
