“New Contexts/New Practices” will generate and publish ideas about how design education will address the defining trends of contemporary practice and culture. This authoring conference will build consensus and action plans for where we should be heading if graphic design is to remain relevant in the 21st century and if we are to achieve the competencies outlined in AIGA Defining the Designer of 2015.
A pre-conference workshop on “Designing Flexible Curricula” will be held on the afternoon of October 8, immediately before the opening of the conference. The workshop will address the design of curricular structures that respond to shifting conditions for the field; structures that are agile and that consider pedagogical approaches within rapidly changing social, economic, and technological imperatives.
