INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MANAGEMENT AND APPLIED RESEARCH
Exploring people centred design in the context of curriculum and learning
design in higher education
Submission deadline - 1 June 2023
Editors: Dr Chrissi Nerantzi, Dr John Hammersley, Iria Lopez
Cite as: Nerantzi C., Hammersley J., and Lopez I. (2023),
"Special Issue: Exploring people centred design in the context of
curriculum and learning design in higher education", International Journal
of Management and Applied Research
https://doi.org/10.18646/2056.cfp010
In the forthcoming Special Issue we will explore design thinking also known
as human or people centred design (Grau and Rockett, 2022) in the context
of curriculum and learning design in higher education highlighting a number
of innovative applications in this area from a range of disciplines,
professional areas in the context of higher education including academic
and learning development. While Kimbell and Sloane (2020) argue that design
thinking as a practice can be difficult to neatly define as it seems to
have multiple interpretations and perspectives, there are some shared
principles and part of the attractiveness of design thinking is that these
principles and processes are adaptable and useful in the area of increasing
uncertainty that requires malleable methodologies with an emphasis on
empathy, inclusion, co-creation, playful experimentation and creativity.
These also align with Lockwood's (2010: 5) explanation of design thinking
who sees it as "a human centered innovation process that emphasises
observation, collaboration, fast learning, visualization of ideas, rapid
concept prototyping and concurrent business analysis."
We have noticed that in the last few years, design thinking has become an
interesting area for exploration in the context of curriculum and learning
design in Higher Education (HE) and is often used as an approach to
initiate and boost transformative ways to design curricula and learning
experiences (Grabill, Gretter and Skogsberg, 2022; Morgan and Jaspersen,
2022). Bene and McNeilly (2020, 55) highlight "the potential for design
thinking to nurture collaboration among team members and the use of radical
collaboration to encourage students to step outside their comfort zones to
gain new perspectives warrants further study." However, whilst the
awareness of design thinking in the context of curriculum design and
learning design have increased, the use of such approaches in practice may
have not been curated widely and the inclusion of students in this process
seems to remain largely aspirational (MacNeill and Beetham, 2022).
This special issue is a timely opportunity to curate design thinking
interventions and studies at practitioner, programme, faculty and
institution level more widely. We are also interested in the design
frameworks that are used and how students as partners and co-designers
contribute in such processes together with other stakeholders. There is a
need to carry out further research into the benefits and potential
challenges and barriers offered by design thinking in the context of
curriculum and learning design in higher education. More and more academics
and other professionals who teach or support learning in these settings as
well as learning technologists and academic developers are often intrigued
to find out more about the potential design thinking offers for their
practice, to transform the way they design for learning as a radical
collaborative endeavour to co-create stimulating learning experiences in a
range of settings and modes.
Example 1: Designing a new academic programme in collaboration and in
partnership with students and industry that is responsive to the needs,
flexible, evidence-based and drives innovation.
Example 2: Using specific design thinking tools, frameworks and models
within curriculum conversations and design sprints to review and transform
students experiences. This Special Issue aims to go deeper into exploring
the potential uses of design thinking in the context of curriculum and
learning design and implications for practice in the context of HE and
showcase the emerging work and research in this area from around the world.
We share the following provocations around design thinking as triggers to
explore the current status-quo and the opportunities for change in HE.
- HE mostly values thinking. The culture in HE puts a strong emphasis on
conversations and discussions, with an emphasis on thorough thinking with a
host moderating the meeting. However, in a design process, we talk about a
facilitator that designs conversations, people centred design puts emphasis
on doing, visualising those conversations as a means to facilitate the
connections, making them tangible and bringing rhythm. The question is: Is
it possible to move from a meeting-based culture to a designed, visual and
actionable way of working? What does that mean in practical terms?
- Collaboration or individualism. Design thinking requires transparency,
trust and collaboration. An openness to ideas that differ from our own. It
is not possible to apply the process in a context with a strong individual
mindset that protects itself and is judgemental. In a context where
promotion for example is dependent on the narrative connected to the
individual contribution, how can we bring a design approach to HE? Design
is a deeply collaborative process and requires open sharing of diverse and
often contradicting ideas, a safe and none-judgemental space that will help
ideas develop and grow and become something useful for the design team. How
can we recognise contributions collectively?
- Embracing uncertainty and error. Design thinking requires the openness to
play with initiatives that might not work. The university is used to long
pilots with associated evaluation models that require strong investment in
resources to evaluate. The more invested we are and time dedicated, the
more likely the initiatives we define will be safe. Design thinking
encourages experimentation, which means designing small prototypes of our
initiatives to get quick, more informal feedback to adjust or completely
discard our trial. In a context where people might be strongly attached to
their own initiatives and with fear of failure, how can we bring a culture
of trial and error?
- Contextual insight and academic insight. One of the key values of people
centred design is that it starts by framing the challenges from a
contextual perspective. What do students, academics, employers perceive
their opportunities and challenges are in this specific school or
programme, in relation to a specific topic or goal? However, from an
academic perspective, one could ask: why do we need to learn about their
experiences when we already know from the literature what works and doesn't
work? In HE we need to explore the effective integration between the lived
experience of people in a particular context (in a particular school,
faculty, programme) with the extensive academic literature on the topic.
How can we effectively integrate both worlds?
We are interested not only in the application of people centred design in
HE, but on the overcoming the cultural barriers or considering the cultural
challenges that HE has in harnessing the potential it presents for
curriculum and learning design. We welcome articles from new and more
experienced academic writers, practitioners and researchers who have been
using design thinking principles, practices and processes across the
disciplines and professional areas as well as students, who are using
design for their learning at undergraduate, postgraduate or doctoral level,
from around the world and would like to share their work with a wider
audience through an open access issue and help us all gain new insights and
deepen our understandings in this area further.
We will consider the following types of contributions:
- Reflective papers (1000-3000 words)
- Research papers (3000-5000 words)
- Viewpoints (2000-3000 words)
- Innovative practice papers (3000-4000 words)
Note: The word count is indicative rather than prescriptive.
The deadline to submit your article is 1 June 2023. We welcome contributors
to also act as reviewers. Please indicate when you submit and article, if
you would be willing to also act as a reviewer. This Special Issue will be
published on the 5 September 2023.

CFP FOR INTERIORS: DESIGN/ARCHITECTURE/CULTURE SPECIAL THEME ISSUE:
ECOLOGIES OF THE INTERIOR
Additional information can be found on the journal's website at:
Interiors: Design/Architecture/Culture
https://think.taylorandfrancis.com/special_issues/interiors-ecologies-
interior/
Theme issue description:
'this home that is ours but not ours alone - '[1]
The practice of interiors is one of acting on and modifying an interior
space to create environments that protect us from the extremes of the
external world-be it weather, temperature, or even nature itself. But what
can be forgotten is that these actions, often unwittingly, affect that
external world in ways that are more profound than we like to admit. In the
twenty-first century, it is the planet that needs protecting from us. This
theme issue elicits responses to how interior design and/or interior
architecture might mitigate these effects and address the climate crisis.
Until recently, most climate discourse has focused on carbon; embodied
carbon, operational carbon, low carbon technologies, and carbon offsetting.
Interiors play their part by extending the life of existing buildings
through adaptive reuse and upcycling. What is increasingly apparent is that
carbon counting is not the only response and that long-term change lies in
'cultural rather than technological, transformation and this must occur at
the level of mindsets - the shared ideas that determine to a large extent
how society functions.'[2] A clue lies in the ancient Greek word oikos
meaning 'house' or 'home' and also the root of the word 'ecology' and
'economy.' The entomology connects physical structures and organisational
structures. In 1991 the anthropologist Mary Douglas expanded on this idea
when she defined a home not as a physical place, but as what she described
as 'a pattern of regular doings' constructed and acted out by an embryonic
community. While such a home is located in space, because it also exists in
time, it is 'not necessarily a fixed space' and 'because it is for people
who are living in that time and space, it has aesthetic and moral
dimensions.'[3] It is these patterns of regular doings where real change
can occur.
This theme issue, Ecologies of the Interior, welcomes alternative models
for thinking about the relationship between interior space, ecology, and
economy. It welcomes papers that consider how we might shift from
sustainable to regenerative design, offering cyclical and long-term
thinking, addressing issues such as dis-accumulation, decommodification,
and decolonization, as well as a greater understanding of genius loci.
Submissions could be based on theoretical and historical investigations,
creative scholarship, research, and practice-based explorations in the form
of full-length articles or shorter written essays that prioritize graphic
content.
Full manuscripts due May 31, 2023.

MORAL AGENTS FOR SUSTAINABLE TRANSITIONS: ETHICS, POLITICS, DESIGN
Call for Participation
A one-day workshop @ CHI 2023
https://moralagents.org
Imagine things start engaging us in ethical debate, and demand we regard
them as moral counterparts. Such moral agents present a potential new form
of human-technology relation, and a new way of driving sustainability -
with autonomous systems that transparently state and deliberate their
embedded values with users, or speak for otherwise voiceless stakeholders
like future generations, species, or ecosystems.
To jointly articulate key questions and possible futures of moral agents
for sustainable transitions, this one-day CHI 2023 workshop convenes HCI,
AI, behaviour change, and critical and speculative design researchers and
practitioners.
The workshop invites participants to bring position pieces and creative
artefacts, and will mix keynotes by Peter-Paul Verbeek and Marc Hassenzahl
with short presentations, and a mini-barcamp with design fiction to imagine
and reflect on opportunities and issues of moral agents, which will form
the basis of an edited book.
Interested researchers should submit either a short (up to 1,500 words
excluding references) position piece presenting an issue, opportunity, or
perspective around moral agents, or an annotated creative artefact
(speculative or realised). Accepted participants can join either a remote
5-hour session in May 2023, or an in-person one-day session in Hamburg.
Please note that all participants must register for both the workshop at
and least one day of the CHI 2023 conference.

IN PURSUIT OF LUXURY JOURNAL
Call for Papers: Luxury Studies: The In Pursuit of Luxury Journal
View the full CFP:
https://www.intellectbooks.com/luxury-studies#call-for-papers
Luxury is a constantly changing idea that provokes much debate. Whether
rooted in the manufacturing techniques developed during the eighteenth
century or the emergence of the kinds of digital processes that impact on
design, craftsmanship and production today, certain constants remain in how
we perceive and define luxury. Technology continues to influence our lives
and decision-making processes. Circular economic models address the need to
be aware of the impact of our actions on the production of goods and
services. Data driven information informs and enhances our understanding of
the customer and can provide goods and services to address their individual
needs. This is in stark contrast to mass produced products and 'services'
which - through global portals - contradict the very nature of luxury, with
its emphasis on the unique, the bespoke and the singular, over mass
consumption.
It could be said that the roles of manufacturing and craftsmanship are, and
remain, critical components of how luxury is defined. But is the impact of
digital technologies changing our very understanding of what luxury means
today? Should the notion of luxury be adapted/re-examined? If so, what form
should luxury take in terms of reflecting and reacting to continued
advancements in technological processes, opportunities and services?
Current concerns that need addressing include consumption, waste and the
impact of our actions on the planet, health and well-being, equality and
change. An emphasis on corporate social responsibility has enabled the
tracking and tracing of finished goods and the materials used in their
construction, including their environmental impact and the well-being of
those involved in production. As the industry becomes more transparent, can
luxury continue to remain beyond scrutiny?
Submissions
We welcome contributions from scholars from all disciplines and from
practitioners from all segments of luxury including but not limited to
fashion, jewellery, hospitality, architecture, automotive, technology and
aviation.
We are now accepting full papers (5000-7000 words) for the journal, and
also welcome book, exhibition and conference reviews. These should be
prepared using Intellect House Style, which is available to download here>>
https://www.intellectbooks.com/journal-editors-and-contributors
All articles submitted should be original work and must not be under
consideration by other publications. Articles for Luxury Studies are
double-blind peer reviewed.
All submissions should be sent via the 'Submit' link on the journal webpage
(https://www.intellectbooks.com/luxury-studies), which will direct to the
IPOL manuscript submissions system. Please contact the editors for any
additional questions or information.

EAD Bilbao 2023 CALL FOR PAPERS
CALL FOR PAPERS
15th International Conference of the European Academy of Design
EAD 2023 BILBAO
The European Academy of Design (EAD) is one of the most prestigious
institutions in the field of design and research in methodologies and
conceptualization related to design research. Based in the United Kingdom,
they are also editors of the influential Design Journal and of the biannual
EAD conference, which has become a reference in the world of design on an
international scale.
After 25 years of EAD conferences, for the first time in history, EAD takes
a big step towards sustainability, inclusion and diversity, creating a
conference distributed in 5 cities on four continents and for five
consecutive days, minimizing the negative effect of intercontinental travel
and maximizing the enhancement of local values.
The city of Bilbao, through the University of the Basque Country and in
association with the University of Deusto, will be one of the five local
Hubs that will host the EAD conference. The congress will be kicking off in
the city of Bilbao, at the Bizkaia Aretoa, on October 16, 2023, to continue
in cities and universities as prestigious as the University of Sao Paolo in
Brazil, the World University of Design in Sonipat (India), a consortium
between TU-Delft, Aalto University, Milan Polytechnic and Carnegie-Melon in
Espoo, Finland and finally the Universities of Edinburgh and Glasgow in
Glasgow, Scotland.
The underlying theme of the EAD 2023 conference will be education and
doctoral research, under the common motto: 'What Got Us Here Won't Get Us
There'. Specifically, the Bilbao call has the title of the local Hub:
'The Discipline of Design - transdisciplinary practices'.
Organized jointly by the Department of Architecture of the University of
the Basque Country and the Department of Design of the University of
Deusto, we understand that collaboration between disciplines and the
elimination of traditional design barriers are positive and inevitable
aspects towards a broader and more encouraging future. The call that we
launched from the Bilbao Hub seeks to receive new and interesting
contributions to design research and to map, if possible, the nodal points
from which these new pulsations of activity in design and design research
are taking place.

CHI 2023: DESIGNING TECHNOLOGY AND POLICY SIMULTANEOUSLY
call for participation
Time and place: The workshop will take place on April 23, 2023 (Sun) and is
open to both in-person (Hamburg, Germany) and remote participants.
Paper submission deadline: February 23, 2023
Call for participation: Accounting for technologies' unintended
consequences---whether they are misinformation on social media or issues of
sustainability, privacy, and fairness---increasingly requires HCI to
consider technology design at a societal-level scale. At this scale, public
and corporate policies play a critical role in shaping technologies and
user behaviors. How can technology design and policies better inform and
coordinate with each other in generating safe new technologies? What new
solutions might emerge when HCI practitioners design technology and its
policies simultaneously to account for its societal impacts? This one-day,
hybrid workshop brings together HCI, design, and policy communities,
academics, and practitioners to explore these questions.
Submissions may address one or both questions in a position paper (1-2
pages) or a short research paper (4-6 pages). The accepted workshop papers
will be made available on the workshop website. Authors of the
highest-rated submissions will be invited to give short talks with our
invited speakers.
Submissions may focus on broad insights into the opportunities and open
questions around designing tech and policy simultaneously. Submissions can
also offer specific research or case studies. We especially encourage
submissions related to society-level-scale technologies and HCI concerns
where design+policy can be particularly valuable, including but not limited
to:
Technologies
- Platform technologies, large language models, and text-to-image models
- Face recognition and other kinds of recognition
- Smart speakers, chatbots, and simulated social actors
- Deep Fakes, AI-generated texts and images
Domains and Concerns
- Social media, online discourse, and misinformation
- Smart and connected health
- AI for societal good (e.g., Environment and sustainability, poverty)
- Data privacy and access
- AI ethics, fairness, accountability
- Algorithmic Management: Working for the Bot
- Agent ownership
Designing Policy
- Using service design for policy making and policy implementation
- Rapid prototyping and A/B testing of nascent policies: what HCI brings to
policy design
- Digital twins for policymaking
- How to plan and package HCI research to influence policy makers
- Related law and policy at local, state, or national level
- Related advocacy and research

producing submission for the proceedings aims to encourage anyone involved
in design education, especially early career researchers and new authors,
to share their work, develop their academic writing, and academic peer
reviewing capabilities.
As with all DRS archive publications, all papers will be double blind peer
reviewed, with third reviews where necessary. Authors will be expected to
engage in reviewing as part of the Call for Papers.
For final, accepted papers, there will be a #45 fee to cover the costs of
publishing and archiving the proceedings in the DRS Digital Library, as
well as supporting emerging and early career authors in design education
research.

In our conference, we aim to explore the relevance of commons and commoning
within design as a discipline and field of research. It aims to shed light
on the complexity of commons and commoning from a design perspective and to
present future models and scenarios pointing towards a more sustainable,
just and peaceful world. Central to this is the question of how principles
of commoning can benefit design processes, methods, and ways of working,
ultimately changing the way designers position themselves. We are excited
to have 27 international contributors from 16 nations to present their work
at our Commons in Design Conference! 3 Keynotes: Nan O'Sullivan, Holly

New Book /// Women in Print I: Design and Identities // Dr Artemis Alexiou
and Dr Rose Roberto (eds) / 2022
Title: Women in Print I: Design and Identities
Publication date: 7 November 2022
ISBNs: 978-1-78997-978-7 (print), 978-1-80079-842-7 (ePDF),
978-1-80079-843-4 (ePub)
Volume Editors: Dr Artemis Alexiou, Dr Rose Roberto
Book Overview
Women in Print I: Design and Identities demonstrates women's multi-layered
contribution to design, printing and publishing history through eleven case
studies of women artists, compositors, editors, engravers, photographers,
printers, publishers, scribes, stationers, typesetters, widows in business,
and writers. It offers an examination of women as active participants and
contributors in the many and varied aspects of design and print culture,
including the production of illustrations, typefaces, periodical layouts,
photographic prints and bound volumes.
Women have often participated in design and print culture throughout
history, yet their impact has typically been neglected and undervalued, or
deliberately obscured from historical accounts. This collection of essays
covers, and recovers, the lives and work of women in print, emphasizing how
their contributions brought positive change not only to the industries they
contributed to, but also to the wider social and cultural settings of their
time.

PHD COURSE: CONDUCTING LITERATURE REVIEWS
At Design School Kolding, we are offering the PhD Course Conducting
Literature Reviews in March 2023.
Associate Professor Richard Herriott is the lecturer and course
responsible.
The course introduces PhD students to the problem of the literature review.
Seen by many as essential to the positioning of the PhD, the literature
review must be correctly constructed so as to a) outline the state of the
art in the field and b) lead up to the formulation of the research
question. The literature review requires the student must handle a large
amount of data and also address the nature of its content. This presents a
number of challenges to do with the structuring of knowledge but also to
take a creative approach so that it is more than a digest of articles and
books. The process is also one requiring an agile approach to information
and theory since the lengthy immersion in the literature will doubtless
challenge some of the assumptions upon which the PhD application is based.
Students therefore need to take a critical approach not only to the new
material they encounter but also to their own initial work. Benefits of a
good literature review are that it adds to the final output of the PhD,
helps formulate the research question and can be the basis of a
peer-reviewed publication.

A LIFETIME OF FAILURE
We invite you to attend an inaugural lecture to celebrate Leila Jancovich
becoming Professor in Cultural Policy and Participation in the School of
Performance and Cultural Industries at the University of Leeds.
The event will take place on 20th Feb, at 4:00 p.m. in Stage one,
Stage@Leeds, University of Leeds.
Her inaugural lecture titled A LIFETIME OF FAILURE will be followed by a
drinks reception.
It is free but please register at
https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/whats-on?q=jancovic
Leila worked in the cultural sector as a producer and arts consultant
before entering academia. She has since become a leading voice in research
on cultural participation, examining not only the inequalities in who gets
to participate but also who gets to decide what forms and processes of
cultural participation are seen as of value and by whom.
Her lecture will begin with a reflection on how she fell into the cultural
sector almost by accident and how the subsequent failure to make the
difference she wanted to, in her professional life, has shaped her research
ever since. She will discuss her key insights from the past ten years of
researching cultural participation, before introducing findings from her
new open access book, Failures in Cultural Participation co-written with
Professor David Stevenson and published by Palgrave Macmillan.
Future planned inaugural lectures include Professor Joslin McKinney on 27th
April and Professor George Rodosthenous on 7th June.

GRAND CHALLENGES
The Venture Strategy Group at Unbuilt Labs has been developing a replicable
model to solve grand challenges, which has recently been announced at the
UN General Assembly Science Summit. We believe the next generation of
responsible and innovative companies solving grand challenges will be led
by strong research centers that consistently deliver breakthrough ideas and
monitor ideas' impact. We are now offering a one of its kind
pay-what-you-want Innovator in Residence (IIR) Program, where founders
looking to set up solutions-oriented research organizations to solve grand
challenges receive 1 year of support through monthly 1:1 Advising Sessions.
To join our 2022-2023 program, please visit our website:
https://unbuiltlabs.com/innovators-in-residence-iir
Highlights:
Grand challenges such as the 2030 SDGs are characterized by their high
global priority and complex causality: attempts to intervene create
irreversible changes as well as unintended second and third order
consequences. To solve grand challenges and reconcile the logics of
sustainable development and the market, a strong research center and
feedback mechanism is both a tool for evaluating local impact of global
programs and a source of competitive advantage as we operate in an
increasingly volatile business landscape.
Our IIR program complements the framework of methods the Center for Global
Agenda (CGA) at Unbuilt Labs has been developing to close the compliance
gap between commitment to the 2030 SDGs and action for a forthcoming
publication at the United Nations Institute for Training and Research
(UNITAR). There are some key learnings from our 2021-2022 pilot program.
First, we have found that given the complexity of solving grand challenges
and creating long term systems change, the likelihood of success is far
greater as an organization than as an individual. While individuals may
have access to moral, expert, and discursive power, structural and
institutional power are only available to organizations. Second, we have
found that research organizations looking to solve grand challenges require
a vastly different agenda-setting model since by definition its work needs
to span multiple degrees of abstraction simultaneously. We have developed a
scope 1-2-3 agenda-setting model among others as part of the Global
Consortium for Systems Research (GCSR) Systems Research Toolkit. Third, we
have found that methods used to find product-market-fit for digital
products are also effective for designing actionable information products.
We have used working iteratively, user research, user testing, and
knowledge co-creation methods to understand the potential impact of a
research question prior to conducting research. Fourth, we have found that
companies now need a broader range of academic and organization-specific
research to operate in the rapidly changing global landscape. Managers need
a braintrust to make timely, informed, and evidence-based decisions.
Our 2021-2022 pilot program has included Dennis Larsen, Co-Founder and
Director of the Initiative for Global Sustainable Economies (IGSE) and
University Lecturer at BI Norwegian Business School, as well as Shady El
Damaty, President of OpSci and Co-Founder of Holonym.

biannual conference of the Nordic Design Research Society (NORDES). The
conference, titled Matters of Scale, was held in the Danish City of Kolding
in August 2022.
Aims & Scope
Artifact: Journal of Design Practice responds to the growing
self-confidence within the design research environment and provides a
platform for nurturing and extending the fertile grounds of its
contemporary practices. The aim of the journal is to call for and publish
research in the domain of practice-based, constructive and artistic design
research at the highest international level. With every call for papers the
journal encourages submissions of research that strives to reach beyond
disciplinary and topical boundaries to support exchange and
cross-fertilization of insights and methodologies.
Artifact: Journal of Design Practice is a fully Open Access journal that
does not charge APCs or submission fees.
