After the appalling behaviour of #elsevier with regards to #designstudies, i’m now declining all review work for all Elsevier journals, under mention of this reason.

They probably don’t care, but all small bits help…

good grief! this is like a nightmare research telenovela - did you see this?

Greetings STS and design friends. I'm working on a chapter for an edited volume. I've reached that point where some critique and fresh eyes would help. If you're interested in social design, design studies, hacking, or tech innovation and have time to review I'd love your feedback.

What is "All Hands on Deck"? It's a genuinely cross-disciplinary symposium @ UTS 19-21 July 2023, investigating the future of work, skill requirements and material production at a time of human and environmental calamity. It asks: What kinds of work – paid and unpaid – will be genuinely needed in the future, and what sorts of skills and capacities will this require? https://allhandsondeck2023.com/

Convened by myself and Dr Chantel Carr. The keynote speakers are Prof Alice Twemlow and Emeritus Prof Tim Ingold. The Speakers' bios and abstracts info is due out in a matter of days... and the full schedule and registration will be available soon after that.

Join me this Tuesday, February 7 in New York City for this year's inaugural 2023 Stephan Weiss lecture, featuring Alfredo Gutiérrez Borrero.

"DESSOBONS:when design
proliferates as 'the other'", Alfredo will invite us to question - What if there is no world, nor design, outside the West and modernity, what if the many worlds within the world turn out to be others (worlds that are not) and with other names?

"Repairing all kinds of objects, infrastructures, devices, and services involves coming face to face with tensions, failures, wear, breakage, and the passing of time that runs through all matter. Repairing also implies confronting the harmful consequences of past design decisions, the 'after' time, from a position that was historically invisible but has recently been recognized as both creative and innovative."

"[...] with this call for papers we propose to consider repairing as a heuristic from which to interrogate the semiotic-material production of the world"

submissions (english or spanish) due 6th march 2023 👇🏼

article now online in #DesignStudies:
A taxonomy of users’ active design engagement in the 21st century.

we looked at typologies of active use + design-in-use in #design research, #HCI, #STS, #innovation studies, #consumption studies to see what all people do with designs + designing - altering, designing, innovating - making, hacking, prosuming. we synthesized them into a taxonomy to foster analytical richness. 3 levels of intensity beyond 'normal use' + 7 categories
