Invisible Man: Literature And The Body In Design Practice, Tarryn Handcock

Nordes Conference Series

As a culturally produced text, literature is seen as a lens with the potential to draw attention to the values, ideas, and beliefs that underlie a society. In this paper three key themes in H.G. Wells’ novel The Invisible Man (1897), are discussed: firstly, the ways that the body may be fashioned through dress and individual practices; secondly, how wearable artefacts may socialize bodies and symbolically communicate; and thirdly, how the fashioned body may challenge personal and cultural boundaries. Collectively, these issues draw attention to the relational network of body, culture, and dress. These relationships are highly relevant to design …

Cardboard Hospital: Prototyping Patient-Centric Environments And Services, Juha Kronqvist, Heini Erving, Teemu Leinonen

Nordes Conference Series

Cardboard hospital is a co-design method and prototyping environment for creating patientcentric hospital spaces and services. The method development was situated within a building project of a hospital wing in which the aim was to find new ways for including patients in the design process. The method was developed through combining participatory design methodology with the professional capabilities of a set designer. Cardboard hospital provides an environment that supports participatory design processes and guides participants towards participation as an artistic practice. The paper is situated in the theoretical framework of pragmatic aesthetics and builds on the notion of an aesthetic …

An Experiment Of Refection On Design Game Qualities And Controversies, Mette Agger Eriksen, Maria Hellström Reimer, Eva Brandt, Kirsikka Vaajakallio

Nordes Conference Series

How do various design games format and stage different collaborative inquiry, learning and reflection? At this hands-on workshop, we will collaboratively explore, relate and meta-reflect upon how different design (and learning) games can form part of experimental, co-design (research) processes and practice. Some shared playing of mainly analogue games brought by the workshop organizers and participants will provide the basis for engaging in a game-inspired experiment of collaboratively relating and reflecting upon qualities and controversies of different design games. This reflection experiment will be shaped around predefined and emerging topics.

Method-Making As A Method Of Designing, Jung-Joo Lee

Nordes Conference Series

The design research community has recently been very active in developing new types of methods, often called innovative methods, through experimentation and action research projects. The stream of innovative methods incorporates visual and creative components that are closer to a designer’s genuine practices, aiming to support projection of users’ own felt-experiences and their creativity. Innovative methods are in principle designed and re-designed in each project, while conventional methods aim to be easily reproducible and portable across situations. In this paper, we illustrate what learning is going on in the making process of the methods, rather than data collected by the …

The Fat Factory: Chewing The Fat, Mike Thompson, Danielle Arets

Nordes Conference Series

In 2005, the global adult biomass hit around 287 million metric tons, 15 million metric tonnes of which being caused by an overweight global population (a body mass of 25 or greater). As the worlds population continues to soar (the UN estimates the world population will reach 9.1 billion by 2050) there will be considerably more mouths to feed, and energy needed to sustain this rate of development. Paradoxically then, fat is both a waste of resources and a valuable resource in its own right. The Fat Factory is a Critical Design Research project investigating the full, untapped potential of …

Pedagogía De Hablantes De Herencia: Implicaciones Para El Entrenamiento De Instructores Al Nivel Universitario, Lina M. Reznicek-Parrado

Department of Modern Languages and Literatures: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

This study researches the differences in pedagogical needs between learners of Spanish as a Foreign Language (FL learners) and learners of Spanish as a Heritage Language (HL learners) at the university level. By using the UNL Modern Languages and Literatures Department as an illustrative case and based on an analysis of the Heritage Language student profile in the context of the United States, this study seeks to explore arguments in favor of providing training for university-level instructors of Spanish that responds to the specific pedagogical needs of Heritage Language Learners.

The relevancy of this study is not only based on …

Colours Of Dementia, Suk Mun, Sophia Law

Asia-Pacific Regional Conference on Service-Learning 亞太地區服務研習會議

Dementia is one of the commonest concerns of ageing. In Hong Kong, the population of those over 60 with dementia is expected to increase by 222% from 103,433 in 2009 to 332,688 in 2039 (Yu et al., 2012). To cope with the growing burden of ageing and dementia, measures that prepare society to accept and care for the elderly are necessary. College students are the future leaders of society. Their connection to the elderly is crucial in encouraging positive social changes in an ageing population. This paper proposes a service-learning programme of using arts to facilitate expression among people with …

Making Friends, Acting Changing : Partnerships Across Community-Based Service Learning, Chih Liang Chao

Asia-Pacific Regional Conference on Service-Learning 亞太地區服務研習會議

Service-learning is a structured learning experience that combines community service with personal experiencing preparation and reflection. In service-learning, involves a principle-centered partnership between communities and university. In service-learning, traditional definitions of "teacher" and "learner" are intentionally blurred. Service-learning differs from traditional classroom education, which emphasizes reciprocal learning-We all learn from each other. This paper suggests additional theoretical perspectives drawn largely from cognitive psychology and social theory. Three teaching courses related to local or indigenous community development projects of Taiwan have been involved to answer these questions: (1) How can community partnerships enrich service-learning? (2) How curriculum development as a partnership …
