SUMMARY:DASA Deep Dive
DESCRIPTION:Have questions about the DASA program\, application process\, or want to partner with us? We are hosting a virtual “office hours” style DASA Deep Dive to answer common questions with a brief presentation followed by a Q&A session. \nBring your questions about becoming a community activator\, submitting a space to activate\, or partnering with us. \nLearn more about these programs and more on our DASA webpage. \nAbout DASA: \nThe Downtown Austin’s Space Activation program (DASA) is our call to action for Austinites to take an active role in making downtown the place they want it to be. Through DASA\, we’re transforming empty\, underutilized spaces and are turning them into a platform for social impact\, community connectivity\, and inclusive prosperity. Through supporting diverse artists\, business owners\, and more\, downtown sustains its vibrancy and cultivates economic\, social\, and cultural benefits.  \nA lack of affordable space poses barriers to many Austinites showcasing their talents downtown. Vacant storefronts and spaces downtown lead to fewer folks coming downtown to play\, shop and explore. DASA bridges this gap by connecting artists\, artisans\, musicians\, entrepreneurs\, and creatives of all kinds with donated space and resources to bring their ideas to life\, encouraging diversity and dynamism in our city.

This work\, along with over 30 partnerships with community partners\, led to the book Engaged Research for Community Resilience to Climate Change and our rules of thumb to authentically engage communities. \nPart of the Planet Texas 2050 Resilience Roundtable series\, Academic-Community Partnerships for Adaptation and Resilience. \nSpeakers:\nJaimie Hicks Masterson – Jaimie Hicks Masterson is director of Texas Target Communities at Texas A&M University\, a high impact service-learning and engaged research program that works alongside low-capacity communities to plan for resilience.

She is the engagement coordinator Institute for Sustainable Communities and the Plan Integration for Resilience Scorecard project funded by the Department of Homeland Security and a part of the Center for Coastal Resilience at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. \nJohn T. Cooper – Dr. John T. Cooper\, Jr. has also served as Assistant Vice President for the Division of Academic and Strategic Collaborations at Texas A&M University. Dr. Cooper’s areas of interest include principles of inclusive planning and plan quality.
