The recent extensive discussion on Freire and Design has prompted me, as editor of New media Poetics to make the following suggestion / offer.
I would like to suggest running an issue of New Media Poetics (an e-journal) as a Working Papers issue on the theme of:
Freire and Design: Social Issues and Consequences of Objects and Liberation
(or some such title that fellows agree suits)
This issue would be aiming to encourage the discussion started on the PhD-Design group.
Papers would be open to discussion and modification with the aim being for a more formal outcome, based on the quality of contributions, to happen subsequently.
I am not an expert on Freire but I feel comfortable responding to the community of concern that arose to this topic. I feel that we can organise a useful publication.
What do others think?
The deadline for a susbstantial working issue would be December 2004.
