<https://www.linkedin.com/in/renata-marques-leitao-39991717/>, and I are
co-chairing a track called 'Not just from the centre - multiple voices in
design' at the upcoming Design Research Society Conference 2018 in Ireland.
The aim of the track is to debate:
- the perspectives and solutions of designers from the ‘emerging
design societies
for their local communities and economies;
- the fact that lack of resources can trigger creativity, innovation and
solutions;
- local values, traditions, practices and mindsets as catalysts for
design solutions towards changing economic and social environment;
- design for happiness and emotional intelligence as an inclusive
resource for a new form of well-being and welfare.
The track welcomes contributions around the broad theme of design
research, education
and practice from outside of the 'centre'.
The topics include but are not limited to:
- Local or regional design for a diverse and ecologically sound future;
- Design history and case studies on culturally-situated design practice
or education;
- Local values, traditions, practices and mindsets as influence of
design solutions and education;
- Culturally-situated practice as design confidence;
- Happiness and emotional intelligence as a key factor for well-being in
an inclusive society;
- Design practice, research and education “behind the curtain” or “in
the margins”.
The deadline for papers is 6th Nov 2017.
