Dear Martin
Interesting to see Professor Sir Christopher Frayling's lecture title which reminds me of my own lecture on Ethics in Design which I had delivered at ITU Istanbul at the invitation of Professor Alpay Er in 2009.
> The Head, the Heart and the Hand: The surprising story of English design education'
I wonder if we can access this lecture anywhere. Is there a link?
Links are provided below to my lecture and slide presentation should anyone be interested.

> At the recent Research Through Design conference here in Cambridge, a panel of four senior figures from design/ design education gathered to respond to questions. Needless to say, this topic came up and led to lively debate. Depressingly however, the panel insisted at the start of the session that there should be no tweeting or recording of the discussion. It would seem clear then that academic career progression is seen as incompatible with open debate about this 'elephant in the room'. Professor Sir Christopher Frayling offered some views in a filmed interview at the conference and a few weeks later gave the Henry Sidgwick Memorial Lecture across town at Newnham College- 'The Head, the Heart and the Hand: The surprising story of English design education'.

For example, if you believe that long dense answers full of quotations are useful, then you set a rule to allow that kind of posts. Hopefully this will filter in and out people according to their research interests and discussion styles, and everybody will be happy.

> It seems to us that there was a time (not too long ago really) in which your professional experience as a designer (as well as your teaching experience) was the most important factor to get a job as a design lecturer (at least in the UK in product design courses). Now it seems that it is your research background (for example holding a PhD) what mainly counts to aspire to a lecturing position.
