Hi Luke, Actually, I was referring to the way that members from Art and Design fields in PhD-design exert power on and bully those from other design fields. Over the 18 year of PhD-design, this has been to the point that although the membership of the 'other' design fields is theoretically in the majority by a long chalk, there is an unusually low proportion of posts and level of participation from them. Many would see this as a power issue - of dominance of the discourse by members of Art and Design design fields at the expense of others. In any discussion of power in the phd-design list, inclusivity across all design fields probably needs to be included.

I believe your concern about inclusivity of the fields of design would probably fall under "Interest and argumentation". Take the following for example: "The list discussion is biased becuase it reflects only the interests of the 40 or so 'Art and Design' design fields and not the 800 or so fields of design". This example illustrates the issue of "Harmful effects of narrow interests on the quality of argumentation".
