Meredith Davis’s presentation addresses the rapidly growing gap between where we should be going in the practice of design and longstanding assumptions about design education. It is about the disorienting relationship between what and how we teach design in colleges and universities and the circumstances of twenty-first century life and work; about the worldview against which we construct the content and pedagogy of professional design education. Davis will share her perceptions of work by the AIGA Visionary Design Council and upcoming challenges facing the NASAD working group on the Future of Design Education.
