Dear Colleagues,
We welcome new subscribers to the PhD-Design List. You are joining us
during an on-line conference on the theme of Building the Field of
Design Research.
David Durling, Lorraine Justice, and I convened the dialogue. We are
moderating the dialogue only in the sense that we have convened it.
We will play an occasional role by bringing issues into focus. We
will post invited thought pieces from time to time, and we will also
be asking some of you specifically to address certain themes where
you have deep understanding and expertise.
We posted two thought pieces before the dialogue began:
August 21:
A Field for Growing Doctorates in Design?
Klaus Krippendorff
August 26:
Will Design Research Go Beyond Non-Reflexive Modes of Inquiry?
Bryan Byrne
Since Common Ground, we also posted two of the keynote speeches:
September 17:
Worlds Apart: An International Agenda for Design
Peter Butenschon
September 24:
Design and Culture Revisited
Penny Sparke

JISCMAIL archives offer multiple search features. You can browse
contributions within any month in different ways. You may organize
the page by author, date, or subject. You can also view posts in
chronological order or in reverse chronological order, latest post
first.
JISCMAIL also supports a powerful search feature. You may search
using keywords or phrases to locate ideas or topics, or to find
citations, or specific items or issues mentioned on the list.
As David mentioned, we hope for a careful, articulate examination of
issues, ideas, and concepts on a wide range of themes. Dealing
effectively with this wide range calls for mindful and reflective
inquiry, thinking issues through to render multiple dimensions
explicit.
This is an opportunity to reflect on where our field has been, where
it ought to go, and what we want the field to become. Sharing ideas,
information, and resources helps to build an international field.
Sharing philosophies, feelings, and values will help us to build a
better field.

This page is also the site of the Subscriber's Corner. You can go to
the Subscriber's Corner to modify your subscription settings. The
most common modification is setting the list to digest to read
everything once a day instead of getting each post when it is sent.
This is where you can send colleagues to subscribe or unsubscribe.
Best regards,
