Design Futures Literacies: Practices & Prospects Vol. 1

This collection presents venture into futures in and through designing with master’s and doctoral students. Included is an overview of current approaches and content on design education. There follows a group of overviews and reflections from FUEL4DESIGN that reveals novel and exploratory work carried out over a three year period. These insights provide the core for further repositioning of what design futures literacies and pedagogies might contribute to reconfiguring design education in times of uncertainty, challenge and change. With a process view on making, learning, teaching and knowing, Volume 1 also reaches into current and ongoing debates and shifts towards decolonising design education futures. It offers modes and means of addressing matters of power, inclusion and transformation of design universities and includes aspirations towards both imaginary and pragmatic designerly futures.
