    Call for Papers:


    EXPANDING THE MARGINS. International Conference on Design Research


    4-5 December 2024, Barcelona

Organized by Information and Communication Science Studies and Mediaccions research Group (Universitat Oberta de Catalunya)


    *** Deadline: April 15, 2023***


*Presentation and topics:*

Design and research are doubly intertwined: while research is inherent to design as a professional activity, academic research must accompany its development as a discipline. some authors broadly agree with the description of the three typologiesof research conducted in design (Frayling, 1995). Thus, research about design(Cross and Findeli 1999) is approached from historical, cultural perspectives, semiotics, etc., while research for design(Dorst, 2008; Friedman, 2003; Roth, 1999; Sanders 2008) is situated within design projects and at any of their development phases. Finally, research through design(Jonas, 2007; Findeli 1995) is conducted using design and its methods to achieve results that can contribute to both design and other disciplines.

On the other hand, research and design can be aligned with a purpose producing the modalities of “design for” (social and climate justice, citizen participation democracy, etc.). This field of action is marked by social science methodologies: media studies, anthropology and sociology of design, STS, etc. Consequently, research is situated at a fertile intersection of disciplines.


In this conference, we aim to delve into the richness and diversity of approaches to design research, as well as its potential to face the challenges of contemporary society. We encourage expanding the margins of design by submitting research initiatives related to the following lines (not limited to them):


  *

    Design and new political scenarios: design, citizen participation,
    and social justice.

  *

    Design and professional activity: creativity, cultural narratives,
    employability, and/or precariousness.

  *

    Design and academia: teaching experiences in design and/or the
    trajectory of the researcher in design.

  *

    Design, graphics, and image: defining visual culture in physical and
    digital spaces

  *

    Design, visualization, and information: the role of design in
    scientific dissemination.

  *

Design in the peripheries: practicing design from unconventional spaces.

  *

    Design and climate crisis: approaches, reflections, and/or solutions
    regarding the role of design in the face of the climate crisis.

  *

    Design and its gaps: occupying empty spaces in the narrative of
    Western design (gender, postcolonial, class).

  *

    Design, health, and well-being: contributions from the practice of
    design.

  *

    Design and present futures: technologies, methodologies, and
    imaginaries.
