Virtual Annual Conference
This year’s conference is an opportunity for interior design educators, students and stakeholders to reconnect, share scholarship, learn about new teaching practices, forge industry partnerships, and explore opportunities for collaboration. The 2022 conference seeks to foreground our individual and collective pedagogical approaches to address and respond to the most defining issues of our time through the lens of systems thinking and at the intersection of equity and climate. Together, we will recalibrate how and why we teach what we teach in light of the changing conditions in the world around us. Through scholarship presentations, educational workshops, and guest speakers, we will provide educators with tools and methods for advancing interior design curriculum, course development, and student learning, to create a healthy, resilient, and inclusive future.

Transformational Design Education
Now is a time of radical change where every aspect of society is being impacted and transformed, but education has not changed in over 50 years. We still teach in a reductive, siloed way that often reduces creativity. The big question now is how educational systems will respond to the changing work, career and business landscape. What are the design roles of the future and how do we equip young minds with the tools that will help them make change in their careers and life? From her experience creating an experiential knowledge lab, The UnSchool, and crafting curriculums for Finland, Australia and Thailand, Leyla shares her disruptive visions for a world that educates based on systems, experiences and creative change. In this disruptive and creative time, where we are undergoing great cultural shifts in all aspects of life, education, especially design education needs to catch up to ensure we have future-ready citizens able to contribute to designing a better world.
Dr. Leyla Acaroglu is an internationally-known sustainability provocateur, sociologist, and award-winning designer, focused on systems thinking, sustainability sciences and creative change-making. She was named Champion of the Earth by the United Nations, Change-Maker by Linkedin and is a mainstage TED speaker who leads presentations with leaders around the world on activating positive change for a sustainable, circular and regenerative future.

Sponsorship and Exhibition Opportunities
IDEC’s Annual Conference hosts 300-400 members, educators, practitioners, and graduate students. A gathering of Interior Design Educators at every stage of their careers, the Annual Conference provides opportunities for dissemination of research related to the areas of design, teaching and learning, as well as creative scholarship. Our educators come hoping to not only hone their teaching skills but be introduced to the newest products used across the field so that they can introduce each of their students to them as well. The more Interior Design Educators know about what is happening in these industries, the more they can pass along to their students, who go out and act on this information as practitioners. One contact with one educator at the Annual Conference can have exponential impact on the transmission of information from dozens to hundreds of design students annually. Please view our Annual Conference Exhibitor and Sponsorship Opportunities for details.

Keynote Workshop: Designing Disruptive Change
“Designing Disruptive Change”
Speaker: Dr. Leyla Acaroglu, Founder, Disrupt Design; Founder, The UnSchool of Disruptive Design
Tuesday, March 2
10:00 am – 12:00 pm CT
Additional fee applies
Design is one of the most powerful social influencers we have developed to shape the world to meet our needs, so how can we use design to create a future that works better for all of us? Changing from unsustainable linear systems to circular and regenerative ones requires a shift in mindset, development of creative tools and the adoption of systemic approaches to how design influences society and the environment. Designers more so than ever before can make positive change through their creative productions by applying the simple three-part approach to mining problems, landscaping systems and building fit-for-purpose solutions that makes up the Disruptive Design Method. This workshop will dive into the practice of creative disruption by design and detail the different methods educators can use to support their students in participating in the transition to a sustainable future.
Dr. Leyla Acaroglu is an internationally-known sustainability provocateur, sociologist, and award-winning designer, focused on systems thinking, sustainability sciences and creative change-making. She was named Champion of the Earth by the United Nations, Change-Maker by Linkedin and is a mainstage TED speaker who leads presentations with leaders around the world on activating positive change for a sustainable, circular and regenerative future. As a serial social entrepreneur, she founded The UnSchool, an experimental knowledge lab for adults, developed the Disruptive Design Method and is CEO of creative agency, Disrupt Design.
“Re-envision Your Course to Manage Unconscious Bias”
Speakers: Taneshia Albert and Mayuko Nakamura
Friday, March 4
1:00 pm – 4:00 pm CT
Additional fee applies
Re-envision Your Course is an interactive workshop designed to equip participants to manage bias in their course materials using Cultural Intelligence to retool course materials. This workshop will build off the knowledge uncovered in the IDEC Inclusion, Diversity and Equity Post-conference event of 2021 to explore unconscious bias within the classroom setting- both educator and artifacts- and develop strategies to reduce them. Specifically tailored to interior design education, you will learn to tweak or overhaul your design course by intentionally reflecting your teaching practice with student diversity in mind. Each aspect of course design, from your assessment methods to selection of instructional materials, to classroom climate, may privilege some students while disadvantaging others or even harming them. Our goal is to minimize the harm to the students and maximize student learning and belongingness. Research-based best practices are embedded throughout. Participants will leave the workshop with culturally intelligent strategies for disrupting bias in their individual classrooms and within their lives.

“Re-envision Your Course to Manage Unconscious Bias”
Speakers: Taneshia Albert and Mayuko Nakamura
Friday, March 4
1:00 pm – 4:00 pm CT
Additional fee applies
Re-envision Your Course is an interactive workshop designed to equip participants to manage bias in their course materials using Cultural Intelligence to retool course materials. This workshop will build off the knowledge uncovered in the IDEC Inclusion, Diversity and Equity Post-conference event of 2021 to explore unconscious bias within the classroom setting- both educator and artifacts- and develop strategies to reduce them. Specifically tailored to interior design education, you will learn to tweak or overhaul your design course by intentionally reflecting your teaching practice with student diversity in mind. Each aspect of course design, from your assessment methods to selection of instructional materials, to classroom climate, may privilege some students while disadvantaging others or even harming them. Our goal is to minimize the harm to the students and maximize student learning and belongingness. Research-based best practices are embedded throughout. Participants will leave the workshop with culturally intelligent strategies for disrupting bias in their individual classrooms and within their lives.
