Hi all,
I'm Susan Stewart, currently (acting) director of the Design Studies Unit at the University of Technology Sydney, and teaching into both Design Studies and Interior Design. My background is spatial design - architecture and interiors - but I've been extending myself into interdisciplinary contexts over the past four years. I teach human-centred design research methods to undergraduate design students from the disciplines of Industrial Design, Interiors, Visual Communications, Fashion and Textiles. I have a strong focus on socially responsible design and teach a subject called Design Futures: Sustainable Lifestyles, as well as various other research 'for design', 'through design' and 'of design' subjects. My research focus is practice-oriented design research (in the sense used by Elizabeth Shove and Mika Pantzar), with a strong interest in sustainability issues.
