[ecrea] Design and Culture (new journal)

Thu Mar 05 21:36:37 GMT 2009



I'm delighted to announce the launch of a new journal called Design
and Culture, for which I am an associate editor. Please don't hesitate
to contact me (off list!) if you're interested in contributing. Note
that the entire first issue is available for free online (link below).

Sincerely,

Matt Soar

The Design Studies Forum, in conjunction with Berg Publishers, announces
publication of the first issue of Design and Culture, a peer-reviewed
journal.  Design and Culture explores the dynamic, contingent relationships
between design and its many cultural contexts.

Free access to the journal's first issue is available at
