On October 5, 2013 an international symposium of design researchers and
practitioners will meet in the School of Design at Carnegie Mellon
University, to critique the North American Design PhD. The aim of this
symposium is to bring together experienced and novice academics and
practitioners who are interested in the future of the North American Design
PhD and its relevance to the academy, the professions and the community.
Convened by Cameron Tonkinwise and Laurene Vaughan, this symposium will
bring together a breadth of expertise to discuss the topic. The methodology
for the symposium is critical conversations. To facilitate these
conversations a number of things have been done. Ten design researchers
have been invited to participate and to provide the basis for the initial
conversations. A series of provocations have been put forward by the
convenors to facilitate the critique.
Due to the conversational nature of the event, participant numbers will be
capped at 30.
We are calling for participants in this event, information is available at
