• technological integration

• socio-cultural dynamics

• systems thinking and framework

• case studies and interventions.

We particularly welcome interdisciplinary collaborations that bridge craft studies, design, materials science, sustainability studies, anthropology, and related fields. Submissions may include original research, empirically grounded case studies, methodological explorations, or critical reviews.
