As part of our responsibilities to the University of Kansas, we disseminate work in scholarly venues, to share ideas and lessons learned through the work. (Though some of these pre-date the formation of Dotte Agency, the learning that took place in those earlier projects has been instrumental in shaping Dotte Agency’s conception, mission and way of operating.)
