DOCTORAL EDUCATION IN DESIGN CONFERENCE -- Practice, Knowledge, Vision
Hong Kong 22 May to 25 May, 2011
***
CALL FOR PAPERS
Join us in Hong Kong for a conference organized by the School of Design
of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University and the Faculty of Design of
Swinburne University of Technology (Melbourne).
It has been several years since the last comprehensive conference on
doctoral education in design – and the time has come to survey progress
in the field. We invite the world design research community and leaders
interested in doctoral education in design to gather for intense
discussions on particular themes and workshops on moving the field
forward.
We will review from extended abstracts with references as well as from
full papers. The deadline for submissions is 15 January, 2011.
There will be two conference publications, a pre-conference proceedings
and a post-conference book. We will publish a pre-conference proceedings
in May, circulating it as a PDF to allow participants time to read and
reflect on papers for richer conversation in Hong Kong. The
pre-conference proceedings will contain all accepted submissions as
extended abstracts or full papers. Following the conference, we will
publish a book of invited papers. Participants will have three months
to expand extended abstracts or transform full papers into book chapters
that reflect ideas and issues emerging from the conference. Final
chapters will be due by 22 August, 2011.
Areas of interest include:
1. Rigor in Research Training
2. Interdisciplinary Research and Working with other Fields
3. Producing Design Theory
4. Methods and Methodology
5. Relating Practice to Research
6. Supervising the PhD
If there is a "burning issue" that is not on the list, we welcome
suggestions – and we invite papers on these topics.
