In what ways does increasing the workload of everyone involved, thus
likely decreasing the overall possibilities of creative inquiry...
benefit everyone involved? isn't the increasing demand of publishing
much more a sign of things 'going awry' than progress toward a well
conceived end of graduate education?
Granted I'm all for having one or two great articles in the pipe for
the more social science minded folks... but for design it seems to me
that there are other forms of productivity that should be promoted...
am I just off base in that intuition?
