Sorry Ken, The plea for pluralism was mine. I asked you to join the pertinent Academy to Design Academia. As I guessed, even guild style lectures, are interesting as design research communication artifacts. Perhaps showing design research knowledge as guild knowledge may do the trick (in your tradition). In my tradition we tend to dress our Jesuit long black gowns and speak endlessly to mesmerized young audiences. We throw them bones instead of bananas. This year we comemorate 400 years of Padre António Vieira (Hi friends from Brazil) one of those incredible jesuit priests that in the 1600's visited more regions of the world than I did today. There is something you must remember Classic Art Academies were founded from Oslo to Cape Town.
