The conference seeks to promote new cultural
studies of design from broad, international
perspectives.
We welcome contributions from an educational,

DESIGN CULTURES
Will be held in Sheffield, England,
30 March - 1 April 1999.
Hosted by Sheffield Hallam University, the
conference promises the same international
forum and diversity that characterised previous
conferences held at Salford and Stockholm.
The European Academy of Design was formed
to promote the publication and dissemination of
research in design through the establishment of
conferences, and the publication of proceedings.
The conference is hosted by a different educational
institution in Europe each time it is held.
The aim is to provide a forum for both established
researchers and academics new to research to
present their work via refereed papers, working
papers and poster sessions. The Academy also
publishes The Design Journal in collaboration with
Gower.
Papers submitted to the conference will also be
considered for publication in The Design Journal,
together with an edited book which will arise from
the conference.

PRACTICE-CENTRED PRESENTATIONS
For the first time a conference is providing a
forum for practice-centred research presentations,
reflecting the development of practice-based
doctoral research in many institutions, itself
representing the assertion of a new 'culture'.
An exhibition space will be made available for
these submissions. We are allowing a high
degree of flexibility in terms of the form of
submission, anticipating a small exhibition of
design work, accompanied by display boards
and a paper of up to 3000 words. Submissions
will be subject to a refereeing process, which will
require a photographic record of the design work,
a floor plan of the exhibition, drafts of the display
boards and a written paper.
