Viveka Turnbull Hocking (PhD candidate, Fenner School, The ANU)

The presentation will reflect on Viveka’s PhD work into design-led research and research-led design as a tool for change towards a sustainable future. The presentation will outline the concepts being played with in this metadesign project in order to open up the ideas for discussion. The aim of entering into this conversation is to get some feedback on the concepts being developed and to generate some ideas on how design-led methods might be of use to the research community in general.

Viveka is shortly attending three conferences to present her thoughts on co-designing a sustainable future. Towards that end she has supplied here two papers and one abstract relating to each of the three conferences:

* Designing a Travel Guide to the UnNatural World: Exploring a Design-led Methodology (331 KB)
* Changing the Change Conference: Co-designing a Sustainable Culture of Life (1.1 MB)
* Abstract (20 KB) for ‘Design with a Thousand Faces: Design-led methods for the social science research community’
