seeks
to expand the space design research plays in by looking beyond our current
best practices. Inspired by the notion of the adjacent possible, the
conference will present research from a combination of design and decidedly
non-design fields. In the ongoing search to better understand behavior,
decision-making, and the evolving implications of data on it all, let’s
take inspiration from work in different disciplines.

INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON RESEARCH IN DESIGN
Location: University of Beira Interior, Portugal
Dates: 22-23 Nov 2012
Website: http://designa.ubi.pt/
Deadline for submissions: 30 Sep 2012
The word sustainability brings us echoes, arriving from the most diverse
sources, from a contemporary speech centered in the desirable evolution of
a simultaneously political, economical, environmental and, of course,
cultural conscience regarding the impact of man’s changing presence and
action in the world. Therefore, the concept emerges in association with an
increasing insistence on practices that define – and are defined by –
design.

Meeting new design challenges to achieve societal sustainability.
In this special issue the editorial team has the aim to analyse and better
understand the dynamics, mechanisms and factors impeding/driving the
implementation of sustainable PSSs, and of the strategies, approaches and
tools that can be adopted, at different levels, to design, manage,
stimulate and monitor the widespread adoption of PSS concepts. At the same
time we seek to increase our understanding of the way in which interwoven
and convergent approaches, such as social innovations, distributed
economies, sufficiency, cradle-to-cradle, etc., can be synergetic with the
PSS concepts and approaches.

Deadline for submission of position paper: 3 August 2012
Engaging the audience has always been of fundamental importance to the
creative sector (performing and visual arts, video games, film, interactive
narrative etc). Media producers, publishers and content providers are
starting to use interactive technologies to involve audiences in the
creative process — constructing audience journeys, and exploiting the
potential of co-creation and crowd-sourced innovation. So design is central
to engaging audiences. What are the best methods and processes for
designing and evaluating audience engagement?
This workshop adopts an interdisciplinary approach to identify design
strategies for audience engagement.

This year’s guiding theme: Design(ing) Business and Services
Over the past decade, several conferences and interactive workshops have
focused on managing as designing, on design management, business design and
on changing the decision-making paradigm within the management field.
Design is taught to management students and management to design students.
Managers now can be thought of as designers, although they may not even be
conscious about the design practices and methods they employ. In the midst
of this development, the design of services has emerged as an important
issue in professional conferences, in academic environments, and in the
business world. Overall, it seems that the boundaries between professional
claims are getting more and more fuzzy: Marketing departments are claiming
that they have been developing services for years. Similarly, design
thinking is moving through university departments and through corporate
offices with the speed of a fashion fad.

JULY 7, 2012
This symposium connects fashion to Social Responsibility. Through a series
of scholarly presentations, panel discussions, design presentations, the
symposium participants will explore, define, and document the
interconnections between fashion and social responsibility.
The symposium has an inclusive definition of the term “fashion”. While
fashion is often understood to center on apparel choices, fashion can be
recognized as the current style or aesthetic choice in any design field.
Proposals are welcome from divergent fields such as architecture,
anthropology, cultural studies, history, interior design, graphic design,
psychology, sociology, and women’s studies.
Participation is invited in this symposium by submitting a written abstract
or a design. Best submissions will be considered for inclusion in focused
issues of journals including Fashion Practice: The Journal of Design,
Creative Process and the Fashion Industry as well as for a book Fashion and
Health.
*Topics may include (but are not limited to) the following:*
- Social responsibility in design practice
- Issues related to social responsibility in design
- Cross-cultural views on social responsibility in design
- Customer views of socially responsible design businesses
- Considerations of any aspect of production within design industries
and social responsibility
- Innovative teaching concerning social responsibility within design
fields
- Historical views on social responsibility (e.g., dress reform
movements)
- Socially responsible consumption
- Socially responsible designs
- Socially responsible marketing/selling of design
- Marketing images and social responsibility
- Social values and design
- Socially responsible design materials
Symposium formats will include poster sessions, concurrent individual
presentations [15 minutes], plenary sessions [60 minutes], and panel or
collaborative presentations.

Theme: Blunt: Explicit and Graphic Design Criticism Now
Blunt describes this conference’s aspiration and topic. It is a term that
invokes our potential and our problems, and suggests the type of dialog we
seek to engage. To be effective, criticism must be keen and direct,
undiluted by concessions to academic or professional propriety. Graphic
design is firmly established as a unique form of practice, but we do not
yet have a developed body of literature that serves to question, critique
and propose alternate interpretations of our way of viewing the world.
Criticism is an activity, but not necessarily a negative one. Criticism is
also productive and projective. It can reimagine and reconfigure existing
relationships between design and other disciplines. Blunt: Explicit and
Graphic Design Criticism Now is dedicated to the exploration of graphic
design criticism and outspoken applications of its practice. Blunt invites
contrarian statements to prevailing wisdom on graphic design practice,
education, and criticism.
In order to conceptualize a critical practice, Blunt proposes that we
foster an awareness of—and need for—the conceptual tools, techniques and
vehicles of critical practice by writing back at graphic design,
challenging established views and assessing possibilities.
Blunt: Explicit and Graphic Design Criticism Now will present speakers who
will address the discourse of criticism in design, critique aspects of
graphic design practice, and present or propose methods of critical
thought. Conference sessions are divided into the areas of practice,
history, writing, and education. Workshops are planned in critical writing
and the practical concerns of curriculum and advancement in academia.

NordiCHI2012 Workshop: Crossing Boundaries: Exploring What Design Can Do

JULY 1, 2012
Dates: 13-14 October 2012
Location: Copenhagen, Denmark
Web site: http://boundariescrossing.wordpress.com
Deadline for submissions: 1 August 2012
Due to increasing specialization in organizations and
multidisciplinary teamwork, boundaries are becoming more explicit
obstacles. Boundary objects are one proposed means for crossing these
boundaries. This workshop provides a forum for researchers and
practitioners to share experiences and issues with crossing boundaries in
multidisciplinary innovation projects.
The current workshop focuses on how one can make a boundary object for
use and aims to explore what the role of design can do making
appropriate boundary objects. We want to improve the understanding of what
works and what doesn’t and be able to develop both practical and
theoretical applications of such *by actually ‘designing’ boundary crossing
solutions during the workshop including a research-through-design approach*.
