Dear Colleagues,
I’d like to draw your attention to a forthcoming event in Paris calling for expressions of interest to participate:
Institutional Change & Design Leadership: Breaking Into, Up and Out
Hothouse Two: Paris 10th – 13th July 2012
Following the first design leadership Hothouse in Brisbane in July 2011, this aims to further advance innovation and institutional change in design education. It is based on the recognition that there is a growing constituency of educators critical of what is happening within and to higher education, not least its ongoing instrumentalisation. A constituency of educators who in response to their growing disenchantment, and even alienation, are seeking a new kind of design education that is equal to the enormous challenges of now and the future.
Anyone – educators, design practitioners, writers – can apply. From all the applications 50 people will be selected. The event will be conducted in English.
The HotHouse will be led by Associate Professor Oliver Feltham and Professor Tony Fry with five team leaders: Professor Cameron Tonkinwise (Parsons/New School, New York); Associate Professor Oliver Feltham (American University of Paris) Mr Duncan Fairfax (Goldsmiths College, University of London), Ms Anne-Marie Willis (Editor, Design Philosophy Papers) and Ms Bec Barnett (Pi Studio, Goldsmiths College, University of London). Additionally three project groups will be run by Tony Fry and Leah Barcley, Chrisstina Hamilton and Kiersten Nash, Eleni Kalantidou and Bec Barnett.
The Hothouse is to be hosted by the American University of Paris with support from Goldsmiths College, University of London and in association with Griffith University, Queensland College of Art, Brisbane. There is no registration fee, and food will be provided. Travel and accommodation are at the attendee’s expense.
