AIGA Response_ability Conference: Call for Participation
December 3, 2009 | Levent OZLER
AIGA response_ability conference aims to foster an ongoing dialogue and debate about design ethics, sustainability and design education.
It will include main stage speakers, breakout sessions, roundtable discussions and digital "poster" displays sharing curricular models and issues addressing graduate and undergraduate design education.
How can we (should we?) create students who feel a responsibility to their world?
How do we, as educators, instill the capacity for our students to become thinking, ethical designers?
Where do we find ourselves between these theories and practices?
And how do we translate the ideas of AIGA's The Living Principles in the classroom and beyond?
Through a series of group discussions, workshops, lectures, speakers and learning sessions, response_ability will facilitate opportunities for open dialogue.
Participants will be encouraged to share their challenges and achievements with others, uncover our educational shortcomings, identify our responsibilities, and offer pathways to solutions, all for the greater good of design and the global community.
In preparation for the event, organisers are seeking "Digital Posters", Roundtable Moderators, Session Panels and Session Moderators.
Deadline for digital posters and abstracts is January 15, 2010.
