DRS Special Interest Groups
In response to suggestions of its international membership, the Design Research Society (DRS) has begun to set up Special Interest Groups (SIGs) as a way of providing its members with a forum for their interests and to engage and work actively together around the world.
DRS members are invited to join any Special Interest Group to contribute actively to research in the subject area of their chosen group. You can find more information on SIGs and their activities in the Members Section of the DRS website.
Current Special Interest Groups of the DRS:
Special Interest Group on Experiential Knowledge (EKSIG)
EKSIG is concerned with understanding the nature and role of knowledge in research and practice in order to clarify fundamental principles and practices of using practice in research.
Special Interest Group on Design for Health and Well Being (SIGWELL)
The SIG will focus on bringing together designers, design researchers, health professionals and others responsible for the delivery of health care services and products and ‘less traditional’ well being therapies.
Special Interest Group on Emotion, Experience and Interaction
This SiG aims to bring individuals together from a range of disciplines and commercial areas with an interest in the ways that humans experience artefacts to help the design discipline to integrate and reconcile the variety of theoretical and methodological approaches to the subject.
Please note that the Special Interest Groups are a new initiative of the DRS, and new SIGs will be added over the next months.
