DEC conference: Intent / Content

May 31 - June 3, 2007 Nashville, TN

In the twenty-first century design will gain its meaning and significance from the new knowledge we generate. The core content of our conference is generated through scholarly investigation and is comprised of discovery, integration, application, and teaching. Discovery as the pursuit of new knowledge which is created through investigation and inquiry. Integration as the synthesis of advancing knowledge coming from design and other disciplines. Application as speculation about how the new knowledge might be deployed within the social issues of our times. Teaching as conveying the new knowledge in innovative ways. Through main stage presentations, breakout sessions, and poster displays the intent of design education scholarship will be further explored.

Conference chairpersons (representing all four Tennessee AIGA chapters: Chattanooga, Knoxville, Memphis, and Nashville): Seth Johnson, Deborah Shmerler, Val Sloan, Cary Staples and Rebecca Targ
