Design Research and Knowledge: Two Invitations
Hello!
Design makes knowledge. It creates new understanding about the world. That's what makes it a research practice. In our forthcoming epic film - Permission to Muck About - we discuss this in Chapter 3.
Invitation 1, would you like to watch a sneaky preview of chapter 3 of Permission to Muck About? Here's the link https://vimeo.com/877320002/1bf21f578e
How Design makes knowledge is.... a kind of tricky problem of epistemology (the study of knowledge). And epistemology isn't for everyone, it can be a bit inaccessible, a bit too philosophical. But it can also be fun... and, I think everyone has a stake in it.
So, with that in mind, here's invitation 2: Would you like to join me, several other empirical researchers, and some bonafide epistemologists (led by Dr Giacomo Melis) to talk about how knowledge is acquired and lost?

All the best
