DESIGN INTERSECTIONS
“DESIGN INTERSECTIONS WITH MANY PROFESSIONS, IDEAS, THEORIES, AND APPLICATIONS”
Join us September 28-29 in Milwaukee WI for an opportunity to come together as design educators and professionals, make connections with colleagues, and explore intersections in design teaching, research, and service.
The symposium will be hosted by HGA Architects and Planning, the second-largest architectural firm in Wisconsin, whose focus is to help clients create “meaningful built spaces.” Located in the heart of downtown in the historic Third Ward District, HGA is central for tours and presentations from local sites, vendors, and design professionals.
Presentations around speculative and developmental ideas on the topics of human-centered design, design thinking, evidence-based and practice-based design, the voice of the customer, and research are welcome. Innovative teaching approaches or methods and professional/creative work related to interior design are also welcome. Abstract presentations may be in the form of presentations, panels, or posters, and may be completed by one or multiple authors.
Deadline: All entries must be received at IDEC by midnight (11:59 PST) on June 11, 2023.
Submission Ethics:
Scholarship submissions must be the original work of the author or authors. Existing precedent work of the author and/or of others that directly influenced the scholarship should be acknowledged in the submission. Scholarship previously published or presented must be significantly built upon for consideration. Submissions found in violation of this policy will be disqualified from review.
Abstracts:
Prepare an abstract of no more than 500 words (do not include title and references in word count) for either a presentation in the category of Scholarship of Design Research (SODR) or Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL). DO NOT Include title, author name(s) or school affiliation(s) within the body of the abstract. This identification will automatically disqualify the submission.
Presentation Category:
Presentations provide a forum for the formal presentation of scholarly work. This category is best suited for scholarship that has reached preliminary or final conclusions and/or implications that can be shared with the audience. Presentations are typically 20 minutes in length, followed by 5-10 minutes of discussion for a total time of approximately 30 minutes.
SoDR: Scholarship of Design Research:
Scholarship of Design Research abstracts explore theoretical, historical, or practical aspects of the interior design discipline in both practice and education. Scholarship of Design Research abstracts should identify the question or theory being explored, the framework of exploration and conclusions drawn from the examination. It is expected that the scholarship presented will have reached preliminary conclusions and/or implications that can be shared with the audience.
SoTL: Scholarship of Teaching and Learning:
Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) abstracts emphasize teaching methods used in interior design courses. SoTL abstracts should identify the problem being addressed, the method or strategy used to address the problem, and an analysis of the outcomes (e.g., student work or learning). It is expected that the scholarship presented will have reached preliminary conclusions and/or implications that can be shared with the audience. SoTL submissions must include an Appendix of up to five pages or images. This appendix should include supplemental materials, which may consist of (but is not limited to) project outlines, project statements, and examples of student outcomes if available.
Formatting: Do not use format commands
References: Must conform to current Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, or The Chicago Manual of Style. You are limited to only five references.
Appendix: Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) abstracts must include project outline/statement and/or student handouts—please remove author name(s) and affiliation(s). These materials will be submitted as a single PDF file.
Supplemental materials that reinforce the content of a SODR abstract may be submitted. A maximum of six images and/or graphs/tables can be submitted as a single PDF file.
