Call for Abstracts for the 8th International DEFSA Conference
Design is sometimes portrayed as a practice that can address our damaged
environment, mitigate the negative impact of technology, contribute to the
global economy and help us to adapt to societal changes. Designers’ skills,
ways of thinking and doing equip them to address a range of complex tasks
that may require innovative solutions.
Given the value of design in an increasingly automated future, how can we
prepare our students for a world where they must rapidly acquire new
knowledge, learn new skills and adapt to new contexts and cultures? How can
we as educators and researchers support the production of new knowledge and
prepare our students for a changing world?
The 8th International DEFSA Conference explores these challenges under the
themes of design knowledge, design research and postgraduate design
education. We invite members and non-members to submit abstracts for oral
presentations and posters that address the sub-themes.
