Carma, Thank you for the kind words. I know myself and colleagues are always happy to discuss ways of developing our programmes; there is much to learn from colleagues such as yourself in other parts of the world. Design is an international activity and it has been very informative to hear different perspectives and paradigms, which have made me think about how I view myself as an industrial designer and what I do as a design educator. My colleague Mark Evans has a number of links with US counterparts and so is best placed to comment on links we already have where design schools have a similar perspective to our own. We are keen to open dialogue with other Institutions and colleagues who would like to know more about us as we do others. Best wishes George ________________________________________ From: PhD-Design - This list is for discussion of PhD studies and related research in Design [[log in to unmask]] on behalf of Carma Gorman [[log in to unmask]] Sent: 28 August 2013 01:25 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Must a designer be trained as a designer? Hi, George. Your description of your program, which sounds very impressive, helps a lot. I am not familiar with any comparable curricula in the US. (American design educators, this is your cue to chime in and say so if you are in fact doing something similar in your own programs). Thanks for your reply, and nice to "meet" you, Carma Carma Gorman, Ph.D. Associate Professor, Design Division Department of Art and Art History The University of Texas at Austin 1 University Station D1300 Austin, Texas 78712–0337 ----------------------------------------------------------------- PhD-Design mailing list <[log in to unmask]> Discussion of PhD studies and related research in Design Subscribe or Unsubscribe at https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/phd-design ----------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------- PhD-Design mailing list <[log in to unmask]> Discussion of PhD studies and related research in Design Subscribe or Unsubscribe at https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/phd-design -----------------------------------------------------------------
