Jonesing To Repeal The Jones Act, Andrés A. Kenney

Ocean and Coastal Law Journal

The Jones Act—the title for a series of laws—is the backbone of American cabotage laws, and yet, it is rarely talked about in mainstream American discourse. The original Jones Act was enacted in 1920, and since 1920, it has not changed to any measurable degree. The Jones Act requires that all domestic maritime shipping—movement of merchandise from one U.S. point to another U.S. point—be completed by ships that are owned by U.S. citizens, operated by U.S. citizen crews, built in the U.S., and flagged by the U.S. These requirements have hampered the American economy, its security, and the maintenance of …

Inadequate Documentation, Communication, And Regulation: How Noaa And Aphis Have Failed Marine Mammals, Mckenzi L. Stevens

Ocean and Coastal Law Journal

Marine mammals have been used in the U.S. entertainment system for several decades. While they were first acquired through capture from the wild, the trade and birth of marine mammals in facilities of public display – zoos and aquariums – has boomed. Since the early 1940s, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has been tasked with maintaining the record of each marine mammal under U.S. ownership. However, documentation has been improperly maintained, leading to inaccurate data, and even the “misplacement” of marine mammals. This is largely due to the lack of communication of the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, …

Fishing Against The Wind: The Federal Government’S Obligation To Consider And Mitigate Fishing Impacts From Offshore Wind Development On The Outer Continental Shelf, Benjamin B. Algeo

Ocean and Coastal Law Journal

As offshore wind development activity increases along the East Coast of the United States, commercial fishing groups have raised concerns about potential impacts on their operations. This comment examines the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management’s legal obligation under the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act to consider these concerns and mitigate potential impacts during the offshore wind leasing process. The comment concludes that the Act does require the Bureau to both consider any potentially affected fishing uses and to prevent impacts to “reasonable uses,” though the Bureau has significant discretion to determine what constitutes a “reasonable use.”

The Role Of Corporations In Solving The Illegal, Unregulated, And Unreported (Iuu) Fishing Crisis, Hunter F. Donovan

Ocean and Coastal Law Journal

This article examines the current domestic and international legal framework that provides protections against the effects of IUU fishing as well as the social, economic, and environmental effects of those activities. Domestically, this article examines the Magnuson-Stevens Act for its lack of efficacy in managing IUU fishing in US-controlled waters. Internationally, this article examines a variety of UN resolutions and treaties that seek to manage this crisis but have a minimal effect. Additionally, this article proposes various ways policies could be amended or adopted to best serve the communities that are most impacted by the effects of IUU fishing. Finally, …

Closing A Commons: How A Novel Property Regime Can Promote Peace And Efficient Extraction Of Deep Sea Resources In The South China Sea, Kevin Frazier

Ocean and Coastal Law Journal

Disputes over maritime boundaries result in inefficient outcomes for all parties to the conflict. The investments required to exploit deep-sea resources are too costly for risk-averse states to attempt to tap into mineral and hydrocarbon deposits beneath disputed boundaries. Consequently, more risk-tolerant states may exploit deep-sea resources without other parties receiving any form of compensation. Alternatively, in some cases no parties will opt to invest in or sponsor such operations because of the uncertainty and risk, depriving surrounding states of the economic benefits tied to those deep-sea resources. This paper relies on principles underlying Coasian bargaining to develop a template …

Managing Chloride Impairment By Expanding And Strengthening Stormwater Regulation In Maine, Heather R. Kenyon

Ocean and Coastal Law Journal

A highly contributing factor to impairment of water quality is stormwater that flows across the urban landscape, picking up pollutants along the way, which is directed by a system of stormwater infrastructure to be deposited in the nearest water body. Though state regulations to manage stormwater are in place, there is a need to strengthen and expand them to address chloride impairment. Chloride impairment stems from the use of road salt during the winter season and is a serious concern for current and future urban streams. The only cost-effective method to address this impairment is reducing the amount that is …

Pointing Fingers At Nonpoint Source Polluters: How A Coastal Nonpoint Pollution Control Program Could Influence Forestry Practices In Oregon’S Coastal Zone, Brenden Kaze Catt

Ocean and Coastal Law Journal

The Clean Water Act regulates the discharge of pollutants into waters of the United States. Despite nonpoint pollution accounting for most water pollution, the Clean Water Act has few mechanisms to address such pollution. For coastal communities, this is of particular concern. Indeed, this concern facilitated a regulatory regime under the Coastal Zone Management Act and, subsequently, the Coastal Zone Act Reauthorization Amendments. These acts use established coastal management programs as a regulatory vehicle to drive nonpoint pollution mitigation in the coastal zone through the implementation of a Coastal Nonpoint Pollution Control Program. Oregon has an established coastal management program. …

Citizen-Designers Making Worlds In Healthcare: A Reflective Reading Of Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing’S The Mushroom At The End Of The World, Marta Lago Arenas, Miya Osaki

Nordes Conference Series

Design in health and care has rapidly expanded into service experiences, digital, and all things patient-centered. As healthcare designers, with curiosities and concerns about our “collaborative survival,” we open up our conversations, unravelling long careers in service, health, and design and evolving questions of care for designers, educators, and citizens. The book The Mushroom at the End of the World by Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing offers respite and reframe. Tsing’s book is a critical examination of the harms of capitalism, sharing learnings about matsutake mushroom ecosystems and relational concepts required for a liveable future. It sparked our interest in alternative narratives …

What Did We Actually Design Here And What Purpose Did It Serve? Some Generative Metaphors For Understanding Service Design In The Swedish Public Sector, Fergus Bisset, Ana Kuštrak Korper

Nordes Conference Series

Building on the lead author’s experiences as a design practitioner in the Swedish public sector, we argue that Service Design as practiced today is often failing to attend to the design and delivery of actual public services. We explore the blank space we perceive between the rhetoric of evangelists for Service Design in the public sector in Sweden, the reality of working as a Service Designer in the Swedish public sector, and the reality of materialising public services. To explore this blank space, we present a number of generative conceptual metaphors for what, if not designing services, Service Designers or …

Holding Space For Wellbeing: Care And Ethics Of Exclusion, Irene Kaklopoulou, Pedro Sanches

Nordes Conference Series

In this exploratory paper, we consider how an ethics of care can be applied to designing for health and wellbeing. We start from defining design as a careful assembling around absences and attending to things that are excluded, with the explicit intent of finding alternatives to how bodies are made through design. We discuss the potentials and challenges of holding space for idiosyncratic practices of wellbeing. We show how an ethics of exclusion can be deployed to analyse how we hold space in our own design processes and propose future research pathways.

Exploring The Potential Role Of Design To Reframe The Resources And Their Integration In The Patient Empowerment Process: The Example Of A Patient Journey Analysis In Chronic Care, Sultan Serpil Erdonmez

Nordes Conference Series

Chronic illnesses require comprehensive management of various resources to improve patients' overall health during their lifelong journey. As resources are dynamic and evolving concepts (Vargo & Lusch, 2008), the patient empowerment process could help identify and integrate resources that support patients' needs by reframing resources through co-creation and destruction of value. A patient empowerment process framework and one patient journey were created and used to identify the resources and to illustrate the key moments of resources integration during an exemplar patient experience. The resulting patient journey map with an integration of a patient empowerment process framework was used to reflect …

Sensation And Contemplation: A Slow Approach To Designing Inclusive Museum Experiences, Jenna Hall

Nordes Conference Series

In a world where stillness and silence are increasingly hard to come by, museums can provide space for slowness, reflection and contemplation that contributes to wellbeing as well as inclusion of communities. This paper maps my current-ongoing PhD research into the benefits of a slow approach to designing museum experiences, as well as how this research contributes to a larger project making Bendigo Art Gallery more inclusive of blind and low vision (BLV) visitors. It guides the reader through a metaphorical museum visit, where inclusion and wellbeing are the exhibition subject. The reader is invited to engage with sensory design …

Advent Of Gan: How Does A Generative Ai Create A Moodboard?, Jussi Mikkonen

Nordes Conference Series

The human creativity is now being supported, or challenged, by an easy access to generative tools utilising Artificial Intelligence (AI). Within the last few years, Generative Adversarial Network-based image generation tools have become available for the public. In this paper, we explore how one such tool, called Midjourney, could be used for generating moodboards. Our work focuses on exploring moodboard image generation via text-based prompts. We take note of the active online discussions, where examples and ethical concerns have strongly emerged during the late 2022. As a result, the AI produced imagery that the authors could not have produced themselves …

Ways Of Seeing Design Research: A Polyphonic Speculation, David Philip Green, Joseph Lindley, Enrique Encinas, Mayane Dore, Jesse Josua Benjamin, Spyros Bofylatos

Nordes Conference Series

We present six speculative designs that all explore the challenge of representing the broad corpus of Design Research in the form of an interactive data repository. We describe the development of the ideas, identify common themes, and highlight two related challenges: (i) The challenge of reflecting the diversity of Design Research in a repository; (ii) The challenge of capturing context(s) during the Design Research process. We argue that these challenges constitute a ‘causality dilemma’ that is inhibiting the Design Research movement. We offer insights into potential responses to the dilemma, signpost opportunities for future work and reflect on the value …

Anticipating The Futures Of The Gender Dimension In Research: Storying Entangled Practices And Bodies, Eva Durall, Netta Iivari, Mervi Heikkinen, Suvi-Tuulia Pihkala, Marianne Kinnula

Nordes Conference Series

In recent years, scholars have been increasingly urged to address a gender dimension i.e. sex and gender impact in research. In this study, we explore scholars’ explicit and implicit views about the future of implementing gender impact assessment (GIA) in research. We do so by analysing a series of co-design workshops in which participants anticipated possible futures regarding the use of a GIA checklist. We conduct a narrative inquiry of participants’ stories consisting of the personas and scenarios created at the workshops. Our analysis reveals silenced viewpoints and tensions for adopting GIA, while unveiling quite stereotypical bodies and practices in …

Walking Backwards As A Radical Practice For Design, Annika Olofsdotter Bergström, Juliana Restrepo-Giraldo

Nordes Conference Series

Walking backwards is proposed as a radical design practice as it creates time/spaces in-between needed to counter dominant narratives focused on effectivity. So-called time-saving technologies, instead of creating possibilities for free, spontaneous, unstructured, embodied time, add more time and space for production and consumption. Walking backwards is explored as a relevant practice to learn to work in-between complexities, certainty, and uncertainty. Even though walking is a widely recognised and explored method within the arts and academia, the practice of walking backwards has not been studied for the purposes proposed in this text. The aim is to problematise the notion of …

Ecocritical Experimentation With Object Theatre At A Museum, Jennie Schaeffer

Nordes Conference Series

Human activity has globally affected the earth's climate and ecosystems. The museum sector has agency in representing topics of societal significance and climate change. The experiment presented here, took place at a history museum in order to re-work human subject positions in the museum. The method of object theatre with a departure in an ecocritical perspective was evaluated. The result shows that the method might retain a colonial perspective towards animals and nature. Still, the method brings a change in who is the subject in the story, a possible shift in perspective and an incentive to care and act. The …

Mapping And Sensing Dewey's Situations As Design And Social Science Methods, Christian Nold

Nordes Conference Series

This exploratory paper proposes the use of pragmatist philosophy as a methodological bridge between design and the social sciences. It develops John Dewey’s ecological notion of the ‘situation’ into two novel methods for sensing and mapping situations. The first method, called ‘sensing situations’, aims to help designers become more aware of the diverse elements that make up a situation and develop a deeper understanding of it through embodied experience. The second method, called ‘mapping situations’, is based on Adele Clarke's concept of ‘situational mapping’ and is intended to identify key actors, power dynamics, and areas for design intervention within a …

The Blank White Paper As A Disobedient Object, Yiying Wu, Karthikeya Acharya

Nordes Conference Series

On November 24, 2022, the White Paper Protests were started by Chinese people to protest against China’s strict zero-COVID policy and excessive censorship during the pandemic lockdown. In the protests, blank white papers were used as a means of protest. Framing the blank white paper as a ‘disobedient object’, our paper intends to capture a glimpse of the aesthetic composition of the protest movement. For this we collected responses from 42 Chinese citizens about their views of ‘white paper’. Based on the data, we interpret the aesthetic composition of the protest movement in three parts, ‘Blank Means:’, ‘Blank Fiction’ and …

Prospective Films: When A Strategic Vision Meets The Diversity Of Human Experience, Isabelle Cossin, Estelle Berger, Ioana Ocnarescu

Nordes Conference Series

Through the medium of corporate vision videos, foresight has become a vehicle for companies to communicate on their vision of the future. These films are of strategic importance and should be both watched and designed with awareness of such purposes. Mobilized on an action research project in the mobility sector, our design team accompanied a company towards defining and formalizing their vision of the future mass transportation system. A filmic analysis served as a basis for recommendations, which helped us story-boarding a prospective film meant to spotlight the diversity of human experience rather than conveying a standardized perspective of user …

Destabilizing The Quotidian: Urban Recipes For Cultivating Care In The More-Than-Human City, Yuxi Liu, Seda Özçetin

Nordes Conference Series

This paper explores how everyday practices can be an inspiration for novel designerly ways of relating to others and cultivating care in response to the prevalent lack of care in our precarious world. We present Urban Recipes, an ongoing project that combines the spatial exploration of drifting with the recursive practice of recipe-making, opening up a space for new ways of relating to both humans and nonhumans in everyday urban environments. Applying the metaphors of cooking to this paper, we trace the evolution of the project, starting from the recipe and developing it into the cookbook and the test kitchen. …

Generous Crowdedness: Cultivating Space(S) For Care At Alternative Design Museums, Anja Neidhardt-Mokoena, Heather Wiltse

Nordes Conference Series

The design discipline is implicated in the trajectories that have led us to an unsustainable present. There is an urgency to re-direct the design discipline, so that it can become able to not only stay with past and present trouble, but also to develop other futures. To see how design museums might support change rather than preservation, we look to the example of protest archives. Based on an analysis of relational space, we suggest that the relative crowdedness of protest archives emerges out of matters of care, and allows for the development of alternative ways of being and creating. We …

Absence, Gaps, Splits, And Holes: Design Research As Visible Repair, Mary Anne Beecher

Nordes Conference Series

This exploratory paper invokes a typology of textile repair methods as a metaphor for design research. A rising “visible repair movement” is emerging as a strategy for shifting cultural perceptions of the appropriateness of repair while encouraging lay persons to acquire the tools and skills (and confidence) needed to fix things themselves. By doing so, more goods are kept out of the waste stream and ideas about the value of things that are worn or damaged is transformed. Likewise, generally knowledge of research-led design practices could benefit from raising the visibility of the contributions that design research makes to meaningful …

Delightful Screen Time Visualizations: A Sketching-Based Exploration, Omar Sosa-Tzec

Nordes Conference Series

Uncontrolled smartphone usage and excessive screen time are detrimental to people’s wellbeing. Informing people about screen time behavior is one strategy to help them attain digital wellbeing—a pleasurable, efficient, and controlled relationship with smartphones and other everyday technologies. This paper presents a series of sketches that explore unconventional, delightful screen time visualization on smartphones, illustrating an alternative to conventional screen time graphs. By showcasing these design concepts, this paper seeks to promote analog sketching as a valuable off-screen practice for design research, as it involves immersion, patience, and reflection.

Nothing About Us Without Us: The Journey Of Digital Accessibility In The Making, Luciana Terceiro

Nordes Conference Series

This exploratory paper aims to discuss and reflect on digital accessibility practices in developing projects and products, focusing mainly on design activities. Digital accessibility is a characteristic of digital products and services like websites that allows people with disabilities to access and use them. Although its relevance, accessibility is not present in many technological objects. When tech practitioners and companies are asked why accessibility is not a priority, several reasons are mentioned, like costs and the available development time. What would lay below the most apparent arguments? What constitutes an organisational culture that leaves factors such as accessibility behind? The …

Design Implications Of Feeling Playful: Play Moods + Atmospheres In Dialogue, Helle Marie Skovbjerg, Shanti Sumartojo

Nordes Conference Series

Based on a research project Play Stories the aim of this paper is to explore how a combination of theories about play moods and concepts of atmosphere can enrich the field of play design. The paper explores pairing through two design experiments. It shows how play’s atmospheric qualities insist that designers attend to how these moods emerge, and the shifts that happens when the moods emerge. The contribution of the paper is: Atmospheres help us understand the dynamic of moods, and we therefore have to design for several moods; atmospheres show us the multiple elements that can configure when designing …

Teaching Design For Sustainability From The Classroom: Uncomfortable Reflections From A Comfortable Place, Eeva Berglund

Nordes Conference Series

The paper describes co-teaching on a masters programme with design for sustainability at its core. The programme puts emphasis on involving multiple societal stakeholders but increasingly also on appreciating the often tricky social and value-laden dimensions of designing better futures. In this context, we seek to foster students’ imagination and support their utopian thought and futures-oriented design. The classroom experience shows that this is achievable through rather conventional academic practices, ones rooted in disciplinary insight and empirical and historical research. The paper also suggests that enhancing students’ self-critical understanding of their own situatedness, even their own comforts, by grounding both …

Cultivating Ethics With Professional Designers, Sharon Lindberg, Petter Karlström, Sirkku Männikkö Barbutiu

Nordes Conference Series

Recent years have seen an increased interest in designers’ ethical responsibility. However, knowledge concerning how ethical practice could be cultivated in real-life settings is still lacking. In order to explore this issue, we formed a team with practitioners at a digital design studio. During 10 months, the team co-designed activities and materials intended to sensitize design practitioners at the studio to ethics. Our findings highlight the importance of presenting ethics in an appealing manner in order to engage designers, and this paper illustrates how we explored this in our project. Moreover, we discuss co-design as a collaborative space for engaging …
