Y.-F. Tuan (1997) states that a space requires movement from one place to another. Similarly, a place needs a space to be a place. “Therefore, the two terms are interdependent.” Thrift in S. Holloway et al. (2003) writes that “place refers to the process of organizing spaces in a way that opens up affective and other embodied potentials.” See also Sanders (2008) PHG 32, 2. One of the main problems with these different understandings is that they create false narratives and allow for misuse of the term. When we engage with these narratives and promote these ideas as facts, we lose the true power of what safe spaces and bold spaces can bring to a university campus. To dispel these narratives and review the myriad of nuances involved, we need to examine the definition of what a safe space is, but in the context of its environment. Depending on the setting, we can use exactly different terminology. space connection n.
a base or device from which a spacecraft is launched; (in science fiction) a place where spaceships take off and land. When it comes to spaces outside the classroom, we can look at safe spaces in terms of use. A safe space is generally intended for marginalized populations in order to have a space conducive to their physical well-being. It can also be used to express common narratives throughout the group. Spacecraft n. Typography (rare today) a support for spaces (cf. sense 16a). Space Invaders n.
(also with lowercase letters) (a proprietary name for) an ancient animated video game in which a player attempts to shoot down a fleet of attacking enemy spaceships while dodging their fire; (also) the attacking force itself. While this definition is useful, it doesn`t quite capture the essence of coworking. The Oxford English Dictionary does not recognise how coworking environments create an atmosphere of inspiration, innovation and creativity within a collaboration of like-minded professionals. Specifically, this doesn`t explain three major benefits that coworking spaces offer to many freelancers, entrepreneurs, and remote workers. Mark and Freundschuh (1997) GIS 2, 4 identify “at least five types of parts .. Because for most, if not all, human cultures, there are different types of spaces applied to different situations or phenomena and conceptualized in different ways. Each society uses its space differently, both artistically and technologically: “Europeans have an idea of time and space that they generally accept as universal. This baseless assumption is naïve, arrogant and false” (Hopgood (1993) AGOCG Tech. Report 24). “Space is used as a place and mechanism for gendered power relations” (Corroto (2001) J. Arch. Educ.
55, 2). Coworking increases productivity, maximizes your return on investment, and offers a comprehensive list of convenient business and office facilities. Let us know if you think this covers the definition or if there is anything else you would like to add. As always, we`d love to hear from you. And if you think you or your company could benefit from a Roam subscription after further defining coworking, let`s get together. Send us a message and we will arrange a time for you to come, visit our space and try coworking for the day. We hope to see you soon! The following editorial explores a student`s interpretation of the topic of safe spaces. Do you think differently about safe spaces? Join the discussion on Twitter or Facebook at @NCStateOIED.
Please note that this editorial is not an official definition or position of the University. Now, it seems that the current definition of coworking needs to be revised. When we look at the classroom, we should focus on engaging in bold spaces that offer “polite controversy,” “possessing intentions and impacts,” “defying by choice,” “respecting,” and “no attacks” (NASPA, 2017, pp. 3-4). We need to engage in bold spaces in the classroom to dispel the narrative that they need to be safe spaces for ideological isolation. When we talk about courageous spaces, we actively try to achieve an open dialogue on difficult issues so that all parties can speak out without fear of exclusion or discrimination. If you were asked to define a safe space on campus, could you? Some may say yes, others may, and some may not say it at all. Safe space generally means “a place or environment where a person or class of people can be sure that they will not be discriminated against, critical, harassed or otherwise harmed emotionally or physically.” (Oxford Dictionary).
While this may seem like a fairly broad definition, there are two main ways to think about safe spaces: ideological or as a physical space that allows for the physical safety of members. Ultimately, we need a new colloquial language and new definitions to analyze the complexities that safe spaces have become, and to update and revise our ideas about what a safe space and a bold space are. With these changes, we can see real safe spaces for what they are: a place where marginalized communities can be free from “discrimination, criticism, harassment or other emotional or physical harm” (Oxford Dictionary).
