The Monieson Centre at Queen’s University is researching the rural creative
economy and its links to regional revitalization. Creative economic
activities comprising professional contributions such as art, advertising,
design, film, publishing, education, R&D, software and media have the
potential to contribute to the vitality of 21st century rural Canadian
communities. This innovative and interactive forum will provide academics
(faculty and students), business community representatives and economic
developers with opportunities to debate ideas, examine theory, present
research findings and exchange experiences in order to emerge with a refined
understanding of the rural creative economy.

CFP: “Participatory Design with Health & Social Care Institutions” PDC2010
workshop (Sydney,
Australia)<http://designcalls.wordpress.com/2010/08/20/cfp-participatory-design-with-health-social-care-institutions-pdc2010-workshop-sydney-australia/>
August 20, 2010<http://designcalls.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=302&action=edit>
Monday 29th November, 2010, Sydney, Australia.
Participatory Design has much to offer in the reconfiguration of health and
social care to cope with changing demographics and ageing populations.
However, these domains offer distinctive challenges for PD. For example:
- how to fully involve participants who may have limited capabilities;
- how to influence large institutions where positivist approaches to
knowledge and research may predominate;
- how to relate to the interests of, and existing power relations between
patients, health and care workers, taxpayers, insurers and private owners;
- how to operate within formalised frameworks for ethical regulation.

The Life Of The Object: An Experimental Workshop And Conference On
Production, Consumption, and Creative Reuse In American Culture (Apr 2011,

The Mid-America American Studies Association (MAASA) Conference at The
University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Sponsored by the UW Art History Department, the Material Culture Certificate
Program, the Material Culture Focus Group, the Art History Grad Forum, and
the Chipstone Foundation.
April 7-11, 2011
Deadline for submission: 15 October 2010
Historians and cultural critics who study objects have long focused on the
relationships between production and consumption, but these dynamics deserve
reexamination in today’s object-flooded world. At the same time, the concept
and aesthetic of reuse is enjoying the spotlight in contemporary fashion and
design, but has been employed for many years by architects, artists, and the
American public as a strategy for survival as well as a political statement.
This interdisciplinary experimental workshop and conference invites
questions related to the core themes of production, consumption, and reuse
in American history and contemporary life.

1st Teaching Design History Workshop: Teaching design theory to design
students
London Metropolitan University, 10 September 2010
The Design History Society is launching the first in a series of workshops
aiming to encourage a forum for sharing and thinking about our teaching
practices. We particularly recognise that design history and theory is
taught by many new to teaching or working part-time. We hope the workshops
can offer a supportive network for practitioners in the field and we warmly
welcome suggestions for future workshops.

CAADRIA 2011: 16th Intl Conf of the Assoc for Computer-Aided Architectural
Design Research in Asia (Apr 2011, Newcastle
Australia)<http://designcalls.wordpress.com/2010/08/03/caadria-2011/>
August 3, 2010<http://designcalls.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=288&action=edit>
Dates: April 27-29, 2011
Host: School of Architecture and Built Environment, University of Newcastle,
Australia
Conference Web Site: http://www.caadria2011.org
Deadline for submission of abstracts: 1 September 2010
Contemporary advances in design are shaped by computational design methods,
strategies and technologies, regardless of whether these advances are
manifested in the design and construction of a building, in related theory
and analysis, or in the ways in which future designers and scholars are
educated. Architectural computation in the post-digital era calls for new
ideas that will transcend conventional boundaries and support creative
insights through design and into design. “Circuit Bending, Breaking and
Mending” provides an interdisciplinary context for challenging traditional
paradigms and invites researchers and practitioners alike to (re)consider
and (re)address design and computation with a particular focus on three
themes:
Innovative design conceptualisation and support through computational
theories and technologies.
Enhanced knowledge of architecture and design through computational
analysis.
Improved approaches to design education through computational thinking and
applications.
