Publication Objectives
- to introduce new forms of practice research in the area of inclusive design, and social design in action
- to introduce interdisciplinary links and crossovers from a wide range of authors
- to provide new concepts/ideas of practice research and how it can amalgamate with current and future cultural, political and social innovations/challenges
- to reflect on how existing design processes and/ or products influence the post-pandemic society we live in.
With its specific focus on multidisciplinary design philosophies, the proposed book would be of interest to educators, scholars, students and practitioners situated not only in the Art and Design sector but also beyond it. This would be very much in keeping with the rapid changes in creative practices in a wide range of disciplines, providing opportunities for multidisciplinary and multicultural collaborations.
