‘Design and Time’ Design History Society Conference 2016
School of Art and Design, Middlesex University, 8th-10th September 2016
This international conference is hosted by Middlesex University in partnership with the Design History Society. The conference’s keynote speakers are Professor Elizabeth Guffey (State University, New York), Professor Jeremy Till (University of the Arts, London) and Professor Leslie Atzmon (Eastern Michigan University).
The conference takes the theme of the temporal turn. There has been sustained research and debate across a number of disciplines recently about different global perspectives on time, the rhythms of work and time and the increasing speed of life. How can the discipline of design history respond to these challenges? How can the past inform the present and the future in terms of design? How has time been designed? In the current era of rapid prototyping and slow design, this is an opportunity to reflect on the changing nature of time in relation to design history.
Call for papers closes Friday 25th March. Please send an abstract of maximum 500 words and a brief one page CV via email to [log in to unmask]
