Running With Scissors – Call for Participation is OPEN!
Call for Papers
The first call for papers is for the submission of an Extended Abstract of 1500 words, detailing the research aim, context, methodology and insights. It is due for submission by 24th July 2018.
The Track Sub-Themes will be announced shortly.
Call for Posters
Posters are invited to showcase Research. Authors are invited to submit a 400-word abstract of their research along with (up-to) 5 images and, an indication of their level of experience e.g. PhD, PostDoc, Tenure, Emeritus Professor, commercial research. The Poster abstracts are due for submission by 17th September 2018.
Call for Positioning Papers
A Positioning Paper is a short piece (1000 words) that articulates a well-supported philosophical or other position in a polemic form, that is supported by references but is not directly research. The positioning papers are due for submission by 17th September 2018.
Call for Research Proposals
Running With Scissors will bring together a huge resource of design researchers for three full days. We invite you to propose a research project that exploits the possibilities this conference raises. This will be different to a workshop in that it can happen at any point in the conference and in any location. (Strictly by negotiation). The research proposals are due for submission by 17th September 2018. There are no abstract submissions for these, rather submission of the final proposals only.
Call for Workshops
A Workshop is a 2-hour long, facilitated interactive session for groups of up to 20 people, of learning through doing to explore ideas, practices, understanding and new methods. Proposals (of 600 words and a maximum of three images) are invited. They are to demonstrate a demand or interest for the subject area. For example, is there a community in place already? Is there a Special Interest Group? The workshop proposals are due for submission by 17th September 2018.
EAD 2019 Dundee – Website Launch
We are delighted to launch the EAD 2019 Dundee conference website! It shares information about our Call for Participation as well as venue details. With exactly one year to go, the team are busy planning and organising the conference so the social and cultural elements dovetail beautifully with scholarship to offer our participants, partners and visitors an exceptional experience.
#EAD2019Dundee
We’re also very pleased to announce Dundee as our home for 2019. Dundee has spent years wilfully disobeying the paths trodden by its bigger siblings, evolving on its feet and taking risks that have borne some singularly impressive fruit.
All of which makes it the perfect host for this year’s conference theme RUNNING WITH SCISSORS. There’s nowhere more apt to discuss disruption, creative disobedience and taking risks than one of Europe’s most creatively disobedient, risk taking-cities.
All of this is to say nothing of Dundee’s beautiful riverside situation, central location and easy access to the rest of Scotland. Nor its brand new V&A museum, nor its UNESCO city of design status. And let’s not forget our host, the superlative, number-one-for-design* art School in Scotland, Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design (DJCAD).
