intro

For researchers in general, the so called “third assignment”– the mandatory task for academic researchers to continuously disseminate findings and results to society at large, as stipulated by Swedish higher education law – presents a challenge. And so also for design researchers. Design research might unfold through practice, in societal contexts, but where do results end up? What does it mean to disseminate findings or share new knowledge about design? How do the insights of doctoral dissertations find their way into society at large? Or should we rather turn the question around and ask to what extent the formulation of design research questions relate to society in the first place? Who is entitled to identify the issues in need of designerly exploration? And how can we intensify the dialogue between design research and design at large?

During this year’s Book Fair in Göteborg 24-27 Sep and, the Design Faculty arranges its 36th PhD “internat” or gathering. As a part of Forskartorget/The Research Square, and in collaboration with SVID and ArkDes, the Design Faculty will expose the outcomes of its eight years of development of Swedish design research education and discuss the future of design research on the doctoral and post-doctoral level. The field of design research has over the last fifty years developed immensely and has undergone several shifts, and today, design research spans a vast field, from artistically informed experimentation with form, function and materiality to the articulation of evidence based methodologies; from practice based enquires into the semantics of health services to the explorations of participatory formats for sustainable urban development.

Internat#36 will gather the doctoral students for a collaborative investigation and discussion concerning the dissemination and circulation of design research, the importance of different dissemination formats including the printed dissertation, but also, with a hint to new participatory and/or spectacular trends. During the Book Fair, we willtherefore take part in and co-arrange several activities. The assignment for the Internat will be to explore and analyze the book fair, i.e. pursue a field study of the book fair with special attention to dissemination and popularization of research and/or of expert knowledge. As a common point of departure, we will also read a number of texts discussing the increasingly important popularization/dissemination/communication/commodification of knowledge (for a complete reading list, see below)

The language at the internat will be both Swedish and English, as indicated in the program.

Accommodation will potentially be tricky during this week. Apart from regular hotels we suggest trying
