Teaching History of Graphic Design (Oct 2010,
Virginia)<http://designcalls.wordpress.com/2010/03/29/teaching-history-of-graphic-design/>
Title: Teaching History of Graphic Design: A Bore or a Blast?
Deadline: April 20, 2010. Send an abstract of the paper (no more than 200
words) and a current CV.
Website: http://www.secollegeart.org/annual-conference.html.
This session will be part of the 2010 joint meeting of SECAC and the
Mid-America College Art Association (MACAA) will be in Richmond, Virginia
October 20-23, and will be hosted by Virginia Commonwealth University.
Call for papers and presentations: Topics can include but are not limited to
the following questions. As graphic design educators, how have you overcome
the challenges of teaching history of graphic design (HGD)? Who is your
audience in teaching HGD? Does learning HGD impact studio practice among
your students? Do you combine lecture and studio projects in teaching HGD?
Does HGD give purpose meaning or direction to the field of graphic design
and how is it relevant to contemporary practice of graphic design today?
What are challenges and results of teaching HGD as historians from art
history departments, vs. teaching as non-historians with MFA degrees in
graphic design departments? At what level of undergraduate study is it best
to introduce HGD? How should teaching HGD be different at graduate level? Is
graphic design theory and criticism relevant to teaching undergraduate HGD?
To what extend do you introduce HGD in other studio courses in graphic
design? Other general areas of interest may pertain to challenges and
successes with your syllabus, teaching methodology and rubrics, methods of
examination for content and image recognition, writing short essays,
journals and research papers, or an overview of successful design projects
in HGD.

shaping the conference. The quality of a selective research conference
depends on the quality of its reviewing process. Therefore the Swiss Design
Network and the Academy of Art and Design FHNW in Basel kindly ask for your
participation as a reviewer. Deadline to volunteer: *4 April 2010*.

Contemporaneity: Historical Presence in Visual Culture (Sep
2010)<http://designcalls.wordpress.com/2010/03/15/contemporaneity-historical-presence-in-visual-culture-sep-2010/>
Contemporaneity: Historical Presence in Visual Culture aims to explore how
the complexities of being in time find visual form. Crucial to this
undertaking is accounting for how, from prehistory to the present, cultures
around the world conceive of and construct their present and the concept of
presentness visually. Through scholarly writings from a number of academic
disciplines in the humanities, together with contributions from artists and
filmmakers, Contemporaneity maps the diverse ways in which cultures use
visual means to record, define, and interrogate their historical context and
presence in time.

Intl J of Design: Special Issue on Integrating Systems Thinking and
Design Action<http://designcalls.wordpress.com/2010/03/01/intl-j-of-design-special-issue-on-integrating-systems-thinking-and-design-action/>
Full Paper Due: 31 May 2010
The scope of design has grown from a narrow focus on the function and
aesthetics of objects to a broader focus on creating intentional change in
society and culture through the creation of new products, services, systems,
and environments. As part of this shift of focus, design inquiry is
increasingly being adopted in a growing number of disciplines as a path
toward innovative progress on real issues. Furthermore, as design continues
to address ever more complex problems, its expanding scope appears to be
increasingly overlapping with systems design. Therefore, we at the
International Journal of Design believe it is an ideal time to once again
consider the relationship between systems thinking and design action.

IIT DRC 2010: Design Research Conference (May 2010,
Chicago)<http://designcalls.wordpress.com/2010/03/01/iit-drc-2010-design-research-conference-may-2010-chicago/>
Get ready for a cliche: this conference is about you. Really. And we’re
going to prove it.
THE COMPETITION
DRC speakers may be exceptional, but we know that most of you have just as
much to say. That’s why we’ve scheduled eight 5-minute lightning talks, and
all you have to do to enter is register for the conference and send us a
short (300-500 word) abstract of the story you want to tell.
We are looking for great design research stories. Maybe it’s about a new
tool you’re developing or something your company is doing to better
understand people, or it could be about a particularly interesting project.
Maybe you once did design research naked (see Luis Arnal’s talk from DRC
2008) or discovered a very strange alternative use for Vicks VapoRub (Stokes
Jones at DRC 2009). This is an opportunity to tell a great story to a great
audience.
The deadline for submissions is April 2, 2010, and we will announce winners
April 30th. Runners up will have their stories posted on the DRC website and
at the conference itself. Full information can be found
here<http://designresearchconference.org/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&layout=item&id=50&Itemid=79>
