Dear Harold and others i always pay attention when you speak, i hope you will be interested in what i say as i also have a proposal for design scholarship...my little dream: first, for the overarching category, we put big ART AND DESIGN (at its best) second, underneath it, we place subfields such as system design, HCI, engineering design, etc third, we should all read William Morris. someone mentioned before that Morris understood design as "Art for People", and i think we might re-interpret this and produce new design scholarship by drawing upon many sources available to us, including your 'design as service' what do you all think? good idea? bad idea? rosan Harold Nelson wrote: > I don't expect to see academic, governmental or business positions > advertised for design 'scholars' anytime in the near future but I > believe a dialogue (as part of a larger inquiry into design) based > on design scholarship (as exemplified by Boyer) is essential for the > healthy and relevant development of design research and practice and > would be in full support of the DRS mission.
