Dear readers,
Your engagement with Human & Machine has created a vibrant space for exploring the crucial intersection of human judgment and systematic approaches in welfare work. Now, I'm excited to announce a new way for you to help shape this exploration.
Introducing Participatory Content Development
I believe that the best insights emerge when practitioners, thinkers, and changemakers come together. That's why I'm launching a new referral program that doesn't just reward sharing - it invites you to actively shape our collective understanding.
Here's How You Can Influence Our Journey:

🔍 Tier 2: Guide the Analysis (5 referrals)

Help determine which aspects we should explore
Be recognized as the inspiration behind the analysis
🌟 Tier 3: Design the Journey (25 referrals)
