CALL FOR DESIGN EDUCATION SUBMISSIONS!
Design educators are exploring new frontiers in design research, practice
and Canadian design history; innovation in teaching and learning; and,
questioning the state of design education today. This conference will
consist of engaging academic presentations, hands-on workshops, and an
energetic PechaKucha presentation series of design project case studies.
We invite contributions on all topics and perspectives related to the past,
present and future of design education. Presentations could be theoretical
in nature, they could document a research project, they could detail a case
study of an innovative course project, or they could present proposals for
new educational models.
ACADEMIC RESEARCH PRESENTATIONS:
Submit an abstract of 300-500 words with 5-10 keywords in Microsoft Word
.doc format. Please ensure that your submission has your name and school
affiliation (individual or multi-author) on the first page with your
keywords and abstract on the second page
TEACHING AND LEARNING PECHAKUCHA STYLE PRESENTATIONS:
Submit a 100 word description outlining your case study topic in Microsoft
Word.doc format along with a single page project brief in pdf format.

outcomes and will be distributed to conference attendees. Both the 100 word
description and project brief submission must include your name and school
affiliation.
ALTERNATIVE FORMS AND PROCESSES
We are also very interested in supporting alternative forms and processes
