Dear all,
Hope you’re having a great week!
Please find attached a call for contributions to an edited volume titled Design(ing) across disciplines: Transformative learning experiences for the 21st century (to be published by Palgrave).
For educational institutions, the beginning of the 21st century has marked a significant increase in calls to transform both teaching and research to better answer the grand challenges contemporary societies are facing: Australian bush fires, Amazon deforestation, radically changing job market due to automatisation, failures of the market-driven economy, and platformization and the new precariat, to name but few examples. Within this context, design education has been gaining currency across different disciplines as one of the potential drivers transforming teaching and learning in educational institutions. In other words, design’s focus on material inquiry, iterative problem-solving, and human-centered approach have been touted as essential skills for students to master. Yet by doing so we are importing only a fraction of design’s signature pedagogies in a drive-by fashion to make the physical classroom more engaging. Thus, what are we importing when we import design to other disciplines? And how does this feed back into our understanding of design education?
Interested scholars and practitioners should send their abstract (max. 500 words, excl. references) and a short bio (max. 75 words) to the editors by 15 August 2021. Invitation to contribute will be made by 17 September 2021, and the deadline for submitting the final version of the manuscript is 31 January 2022.
Please feel free to share this call with your colleagues, and should you have any questions related to the book, please let us know!
Cheers,
Miikka, also on behalf of Tomi & Laura
