🚨 CALL FOR PROPOSALS 🚨 The AIGA Design Educators Community (DEC) is excited to announce that we will host an educator track as part of Margins, the 2024 AIGA Design National Conference, to be held virtually on October 10-12, 2024. This call for proposals seeks submissions from educators, graduate students, and industry professionals that address ideas and topics connected to the theme Margins as it applies to design education and research. As the National conference call noted, margins represent spaces of opportunity, challenge, and innovation. Whether it's centering marginalized communities, embracing experimentation and failure, pursuing new avenues for teaching and research, or exploring new technologies, the DEC track for Margins encapsulates a spectrum of possibilities for design education and research. Proposals might address questions of... → Teaching practices and research that explore the margins of the discipline, including social justice, decolonization, accessibility, climate activism, and any other practice pushing the boundaries of the discipline and the role of design within the broader culture. → How design education and research can and does center marginalized communities and expands the discipline beyond the canon and Western design practices. → Exploring new technologies currently at the margins of design education research and how they will impact design practice and design education. → Institutional/Systemic changes regarding tenure requirements, paths to graduation, co-curricular programming, and new processes that re-imagines education and research as opportunity spaces that have been historically left at the margins for faculty, staff, and educators. → The margins of design research and education, including emergent practices and teaching methodologies and practices that will shape professional practice and student preparation in the near future. Proposals of 500 words or less are due by Friday, July 26, 2024. No extensions will be offered. Notifications will be sent in late August. All proposals will be reviewed in a double-blind peer-review process. Link for more details and submission form: https://lnkd.in/gYKgyv8V #aigadec #designeducators
