Hi Pedro,
I'm a relatively silent member of the list serve, but I think my experience
is relevant here. I am currently a Doctoral Candidate in anthropology at
the new school. My work however is directly focused on design, particularly
more emergent forms of design thinking and practice aimed at complex social
and political issues (ie: healthcare, education, policy etc). I've been
doing field work with a number of design PhDs in Scandinavia and am also
part of the design anthropology research network. In addition, I am in
charge of academic development and collaboration at the parsons DESIS lab.
All that is to say, I have grasp (however situated it might be) of the
academic design landscape at the intersection of design and anthropology.
Maybe you'd like to chat?
