Education Meta-Ideologies Applied To The Studio Model, Paul David Hardman, Licínio Roque, Nuno Coelho
Education Meta-Ideologies Applied To The Studio Model, Paul David Hardman, Licínio Roque, Nuno Coelho
Learn X Design Conference Series
This paper summarises the meta-ideologies of education and uses them as a basis for constructing a table of education paradigms that can structure analyses of variations in the studio model of design education. Lamm’s meta-ideologies (Socialisation, Acculturation, and Individuation) are compared to Biesta’s domains of purpose and the “undermining didactic,” which Harpaz defined as the most suitable pattern of instruction for critical thinking. This mapping of educational ideas, patterns, and purposes is used to discuss both the signature pedagogical features of the studio model and the emancipative orientation of Pluriversal Design. This exercise adds nuance to the debate about pedagogical …
Scale Up: Enabling Definitional Discussion In Graphic Design Using A Visual Analogue Scale (Vas), Alis Iacob, Meherunisa Baig
Scale Up: Enabling Definitional Discussion In Graphic Design Using A Visual Analogue Scale (Vas), Alis Iacob, Meherunisa Baig
Learn X Design Conference Series
This letter aims to highlight some of the definitional challenges in graphic design research. The authors suggest using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), a psychometric tool traditionally employed in psychology, as a prompt for facilitating discussions around the definition of graphic design. By anchoring the scale's endpoints with the divisive concepts of "form" and "function," the proposal seeks to contextualise these diverse opinions within the historical and current complexities involved in defining graphic design. According to the literature, ambiguous viewpoints often emerge from the nature of the discipline and its evolving practices, perspectives which are frequently influenced by socio-cultural, political, …

Indigenous Finance And Women Empowerment: The Digital Transformation Of Stokvel Systems In South Africa, Papama Mtambeka, Ulrike Rivett, Rebecca Njuguna
Indigenous Finance And Women Empowerment: The Digital Transformation Of Stokvel Systems In South Africa, Papama Mtambeka, Ulrike Rivett, Rebecca Njuguna
African Conference on Information Systems and Technology
This paper explores how the digital transformation of stokvels in South Africa is reshaping women’s empowerment. Stokvels, a form of indigenous savings or rotating savings clubs, have long served as a financial safety net for women, particularly for underserved rural and peri-urban communities. However, with the increasing integration of mobile technologies, fintech platforms, and digital communication tools, these systems are undergoing a significant shift. Drawing on qualitative data from South African women engaged in digitally transformed stokvels, the study examines how digital tools redefine women’s economic and social empowerment. Through the lens of Nego-feminism and Snail-sense feminism, the research highlights …
Athanor: Faivre-Based Comparative Interface For Empirical Esoteric Study; Applied Analysis Of Dusty White’S Astrology, Thomas Nali Iii
Athanor: Faivre-Based Comparative Interface For Empirical Esoteric Study; Applied Analysis Of Dusty White’S Astrology, Thomas Nali Iii
Summer Research Showcase
Athanor is a research interface that turns Faivre’s six features into structured analysis cards, prompting explicit decisions for each category. Two tab groups organize the work: Currents (a prepopulated survey of major esoteric streams, with dated notes and sources) and Sources (primary or contemporary materials under review). The survey layer lowers entry costs and provides a consistent factual baseline for future comparative work. Shared glossary, biography, and bibliography banks—presented as sortable tables—reduce duplication and keep references transparent. As a demonstration, I apply Athanor to Dusty White’s The Easiest Way to Learn Astrology, Ever!, analyzing the text through the rubric’s four …
Impact Of Culturally Relevant Content On Social Media Engagement In Indigenous Communities, Giselle Gourd
Impact Of Culturally Relevant Content On Social Media Engagement In Indigenous Communities, Giselle Gourd
Summer Research Showcase
Digital marketing has become extremely successful in recent years, particularly through the use of social media platforms. Having a better understanding of the use of culturally relevant content can help to increase engagement across various social media platforms. The purpose of this study is to better understand how Native American tribes can utilize digital marketing most successfully. To do so, I will first utilize a literature review of Native American representation in the media, the influence of cultural values on consumer behavior, and how effective digital marketing can be for business success. I will then analyze the engagement rates of …
Problematic Ideas For A Problematic Group: Untangling Common Depictions Of Transgender Characters In Young Adult Literature, Asiyah Noujdi
Problematic Ideas For A Problematic Group: Untangling Common Depictions Of Transgender Characters In Young Adult Literature, Asiyah Noujdi
Summer Research Showcase
The need and desire for diverse perspectives within young adult (YA) literature led to a boom in the amount of stories featuring trans people at the start of the 21st century and has continued to this day. However these perspectives have not all been positive with earlier books written featuring viewpoints that would be seen by a trans individual as not reflective of their lived experiences. This project aims to compare the depictions of trans people in trans YA from the start of the 21st century up to the present day. The perspectives used within this project will be from …

In The Relational Sandbox: Deep Democracy And Technology, Alma Leora Culén, Nicholas Sebastian Stevens, Jasmin Niess, Sisse Finken, Jason Miklian, Kristian Hoelscher
Nordes Conference Series
Designing for democracy often emphasizes values but underestimates the role of relationships in shaping civic life. This workshop explores how relationality - our social ties, political agency, and economic conditions - affects grassroots democratic design experiments and the technologies they inspire. Grounded in deep democracy and participatory approaches, we engage in small-scale experiments using Relational Sandbox to explore how new technologies that support democratic values can reshape power dynamics and how locally rooted, tailored designs can counteract capital-driven technological development. By experimenting with relational civics, we will collectively imagine new design strategies that prioritize meaningful technologies for deep democracy over …
An Exploration On Relationality And Decoloniality In Participatory Design Based On Care, Annalinda De Rosa, Milagros Hurtig, Marco Andrea Finardi
An Exploration On Relationality And Decoloniality In Participatory Design Based On Care, Annalinda De Rosa, Milagros Hurtig, Marco Andrea Finardi
Nordes Conference Series
How is positionality brought into participatory practices? How are moments for self-reflection created in participatory design? How do design researchers challenge colonial perspectives in design? The workshop aims to create a space for a collective reflection on the need to undo the narratives of modernity and the cult of futurity that brings to the ubiquitous discourse on innovation as the only possible path for a better future. The workshop experiments with materiality as a channel to collectively explore how designing – as a transformative action embracing relationality – could adopt a pluriversal mindset. It furthers the discussion on relationality, elucidating …

Nurturing Technological Imagination Through Material Exploration, Heidi Bråthen
Nordes Conference Series
This exhibition introduces a tangible, modular toolkit designed for hands-on exploration of both computational and traditional materials, showcasing design possibilities without demanding prior technical skills from participants in co-design processes. Recognizing challenges posed by limited technological experience and age-related changes, we employed a research-through-design approach tailored to older adults and designers working with co-design and co-prototyping. Our toolkit aims to empower diverse participants to discover and modify technological options, fostering their technological imagination in the design process.
Localizing Design Stories - An Exhibition, Bianca Kóczán, Philipp Stingl, Michaela Anzer
Localizing Design Stories - An Exhibition, Bianca Kóczán, Philipp Stingl, Michaela Anzer
Nordes Conference Series
localizing design stories (locdstories) is a collectively developed design research project. An offer to form a temporary group of a few facilitators and more participants interested in design. This group agrees to take time and share a braver space to explore and reflect upon the relations between their design practice, what stories have been told by whom to them about design, and what stories they would like to share. The setting consists of an adaptable seminar format and an interactive platform, a virtual globe gathering absent situated design stories beyond a dominant design historiography by inviting participants to tell stories …
Traces Of Nature, A Dialogue In Memory And Art, Vigdis Storsveen, Anders-Petter Andersson
Traces Of Nature, A Dialogue In Memory And Art, Vigdis Storsveen, Anders-Petter Andersson
Nordes Conference Series
The project explores participatory processes through an art exhibition of stories and photographs of nature, involving care home residents. The aim is to investigate the potential for health promotion by facilitating conversations about memories of past nature experiences. Residents, who often lack access to nature and art exhibitions, engage in dialogue with the artist about places in nature that are meaningful to them. The artist then visits these locations and captures them through photography, offering an interpretation of the chosen site. The resulting stories and images are exhibited at institutions, fostering discussions about memories, nature, and art among residents and …
Relational Design In Healthcare Innovation: Exploring A Multi-Site Context, Kathrina Dankl, Laura Aguado-González, Victoria Artigas, Canan Akoglu, Kasper Frank, Marie Kremer, Erika Renedo-Illarregi, Carlos Romero, Yeray Sañudo, Jorge Sierra-Pérez
Relational Design In Healthcare Innovation: Exploring A Multi-Site Context, Kathrina Dankl, Laura Aguado-González, Victoria Artigas, Canan Akoglu, Kasper Frank, Marie Kremer, Erika Renedo-Illarregi, Carlos Romero, Yeray Sañudo, Jorge Sierra-Pérez
Nordes Conference Series
Healthcare is a critical component of the infrastructure of a welfare state, with public services at its core. However, its challenges are more complex and intractable than those addressed by service design frameworks. The relational design approach, aligned with participatory design principles, could provide insights for service design that promotes a focus on relationships, networks and situated knowledge generation. This study explores situating tactics in the research process of a large EU project focusing on shared decision making in cancer care. By analysing how topic, timescale and methods are situated across two research sites, we discuss how relational sensitivity has …
Designing With Rural Mobilities: Attempts At Relational Design, Sofie Holst, Morten Krogh Petersen, Mathias Poulsen, Alexandra Lindek, Maximilian Schmidauer
Designing With Rural Mobilities: Attempts At Relational Design, Sofie Holst, Morten Krogh Petersen, Mathias Poulsen, Alexandra Lindek, Maximilian Schmidauer
Nordes Conference Series
This exploratory paper contributes to the development of relational design as a methodology by examining how relational design unfolds – or fails to unfold – within the context of the development and research project X. Mobilities both create and disrupt relations, making our engagement in the X project particularly suitable for investigating where and how relational design operates, as well as the effects it can achieve. Specifically, we analyze how relational design, when developed through fieldwork, within the particular project constellation of X, and through engagements with mobilities studies, is nurtured, constrained, and problematized. We emphasize that designing relationally is …
Nrm-Critical Design As A Path Forward In The Relational Turn: Examples From A Norm-Critical Exploration Of The Hbsc Survey, Anna Isaksson, Karin Ehrnberger, Malin Björklund, Emma Börjesson
Nrm-Critical Design As A Path Forward In The Relational Turn: Examples From A Norm-Critical Exploration Of The Hbsc Survey, Anna Isaksson, Karin Ehrnberger, Malin Björklund, Emma Börjesson
Nordes Conference Series
This article explores how norm-critical design can contribute to the relational turn in design, drawing on a previous study of the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children survey. While relational design emphasizes contextualization, interdependencies, and evolving relationships, norm-critical design provides tools to identify, visualize, and challenge embedded norms within these relationships. By transforming survey questions into design concepts, this study demonstrates how norm-critical design materializes implicit assumptions, making them visible for critique and reflection. The findings illustrate that surveys are not neutral data collection tools but performative instruments shaping relationships, self-perceptions, and societal norms. The article argues that norm-critical design expands …
Relational Design For Remote Intergenerational Sensorial Play Experiences, Kristi Kuusk, Azeem Hamid, Zaur Babayev, Paula Veske-Lepp, Nesli Hazal Oktay
Relational Design For Remote Intergenerational Sensorial Play Experiences, Kristi Kuusk, Azeem Hamid, Zaur Babayev, Paula Veske-Lepp, Nesli Hazal Oktay
Nordes Conference Series
This paper explores intergenerational mental well-being through sensorial play between children and remote grandparents. With increasing physical separation due to transnational family networks, maintaining these relationships is vital for mental health. While digital communication tools help, excessive screen use negatively impacts children's well-being. Through three case studies, we exemplify relational design sensitivities by engaging participants in co-creation, adaptive improvisation, and networked interactions through our design process. We investigate how relational design approaches combined with sensorial design could enhance connection beyond screens, emphasizing the role of embodied, multisensory engagement in intergenerational bonds.
Design For Longevity: A Relational And Systemic Perspective, Sheng-Hung Lee
Design For Longevity: A Relational And Systemic Perspective, Sheng-Hung Lee
Nordes Conference Series
As Relational Design (RD) grows in popularity, Casual Loop Diagrams (CLD) can complement RD in systemic analysis by visualizing relationships between variables. This study integrates CLD with RD within the context of longevity planning, which considers dimensions of financial, social and physical wellness. While RD maps static relationships, CLDs model dynamic interactions and feedback loops, enhancing innovation through a holistic and adaptive approach. By bridging relational and systemic perspectives, this preliminary study advances discourse in service design, system thinking, and research methodologies, demonstrating how RD and CLD contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of longevity planning. Findings emphasize the importance …
Knitting For A Gnome And Other Spiritual Kindnesses: Fabulating Our Way Into Relationality, Otto Rønnest, Maja Riemann
Knitting For A Gnome And Other Spiritual Kindnesses: Fabulating Our Way Into Relationality, Otto Rønnest, Maja Riemann
Nordes Conference Series
This paper explores relational fragments from Nordic mythology and folklore through a critical fabulation that was crafted as a situated co-labouring and embodied auto-ethnographic designerly approach to expanding our design practice towards relationality. It is a search for and a move towards “alternative Wests” and seeks to step beyond Design-as-Modern. From the critical fabulation situated insights for designing relationaly are presented, not as a recipe for others but as inspiration for others to engage in their own culture to find their own situated practice.
Equine Equipment And Relational Design In Horse-Human Intra-Action, Synne Skjulstad
Equine Equipment And Relational Design In Horse-Human Intra-Action, Synne Skjulstad
Nordes Conference Series
This exploratory paper examines equine tack and equipment as relational interfaces between horses, humans and their wider surroundings. It unpacks the notion of relational design within a posthuman view on design, and the long-term relationships and wordless dialogues with an Arabian horse. It frames equestrian tack as relational interfaces for horse-human intra-action. These interfaces are documented in use through ongoing photographic exploration and documentation of horses in a leisure riding context in a Norway. The hours spent in the saddle and in companionship with these horses form a situated knowledge basis from which the relationship between horse, human, tack, and …
Is It About Time? On The Meanings Of Temporal Representations In Object Art, Patricia Ciobanu, Ylva Fernaeus
Is It About Time? On The Meanings Of Temporal Representations In Object Art, Patricia Ciobanu, Ylva Fernaeus
Nordes Conference Series
Perspectives on time within interaction design research have extended beyond material embodiments, such as standard clocks, to exploring alternative designs and situating these in cultural practices and relations. We investigate examples of how time has been expressed in a series of object-based artworks that represent time otherwise, highlighting how they use a variety of material forms to engage with social, political, and contextually performative issues. Through a critical analysis, we illustrate how such works engage with topics of social negotiation, hidden labour, gender, power, and technology-supported disruptive living. We end with a reflection on how these expressions of meaning-making cultivate …

The Relationship Between Maker, Machine And Material: Creative Investigation Of Geopolymer Extrusion 3d Printing, Lennart Engels, Priska Falin, Luis Huaman, Johannes Kaarakainen, Maarit Mäkelä, Jussi Leveinen
Nordes Conference Series
The use of geopolymers in creative practices, encompassing the fields of art, craft, and design, is still relatively unexplored. This paper introduces early explorations focused on geopolymer extrusion 3D printing in a creative studio context. The closer focus is on the context-bound connections of the maker, machine and material during creative practice. As an outcome of experimentation and creative problem-solving, this paper presents original and innovative extrusion printing methods that create a new fabrication aesthetic that acknowledges and emphasises the coiled aesthetic generated by this process. The three perspectives of maker, machine and material are discussed individually and together; opening …
Tangible Theory As Tool For Attuning To Non-Human Voices In Domestic Gardens, Mette Gislev Kjærsgaard, Tau Lenskjold, Mathilde Buskbjerg Madsen, Asbjørn Krüger Mønster, Giocchino Matteo Maniscalco
Tangible Theory As Tool For Attuning To Non-Human Voices In Domestic Gardens, Mette Gislev Kjærsgaard, Tau Lenskjold, Mathilde Buskbjerg Madsen, Asbjørn Krüger Mønster, Giocchino Matteo Maniscalco
Nordes Conference Series
This paper introduces a design research tool that integrates anthropological perspectives on non-human agency to reimagine biodiversity in garden design. While gardens comprise a minor portion of global biomass, they are critical sites for urban biodiversity and multispecies interaction. A central challenge lies in learning to attune to non-human actors. Building on theories of ecological inter-dependence in the Anthropocene, we ask how such perspectives can be operationalised in design practice. Grounded in the "Patchy Anthropocene" framework (Tsing et al., 2019), the tool translates theoretical insights into an actionable prototype. Drawing on interviews with garden owners in six European countries, it …
