Dear List members,
A reminder that the deadline for journal article submission for Visual/Textual: documenting the realities of research through design practice is fast approaching – 31st of August 2014. Below you will find the original call published on the list a few months ago.
-----------------------
Call for paper: A special issues volume in Studies in Material Thinking on the theme of Visual/Textual: documenting the realities of research through design practice.
Studies in Material Thinking (SMT) in collaboration with the organisers of the Praxis and Poetics: Research Through Design conference (http://www.praxisandpoetics.org/researchthroughdesign/) is calling for submissions to a special volume of research articles to be published in February 2015. This special issue aims to open up the debate to a wider audience and enable deeper engagement with the issues and challenges associated with the communication of research through design.
This special issue will signal a constructive break from conventional journal format by inviting: (i) new and alternative conceptualisations of practice-based research; and (ii) work that challenges the expected mechanisms for communicating and translating research to broader audiences. Submissions should document exemplars of research through design practice and, given the online nature of SMT publication format, should further demonstrate a rigorous and critical approach to visual argumentation. We are keen to represent a diverse range of disciplines to capture different methods for practicing research through design. We are also open to authors challenging the current journal publication format to support the visual communication of work. The full paper deadline is on the 31st of August, 2014.
The full call is online: http://www.materialthinking.org/calls
Feel free to get in touch if would like to know more.
Thanks,
Joyce
(on behalf of the special issue editorial team for SMT)
