Dear Colleagues,
The other day, Nigel Cross raised an interesting question. This is the question of the issues that can contribute to or advance the discussion of PhD studies in design.
I’m curious to know how people from different points in their career think about how to advance PhD studies in design. I have been working on an article with a colleague, and suggestions will help us to sharpen out thinking — as well as ensuring that we are not missing important issues.
If you have any thoughts, I’ll be most grateful. I’m not planning a debate. I’m eager to read what others have to say and to learn from it.
Along with any thoughts you may have, it would be helpful to know your current affiliation, and to know what stage in your career you speak from. That is, are you a PhD student, a recent graduate, a post-doc, a lecturer, or a professor. I’m also interested in the thoughts of PhD supervisors and people who are responsible for PhD programs as program directors or as associate deans for research.
If you feel like posting to the list to generate a conversation, great. If you are reluctant to post, please write me off-list at:
