October 9, 2020 Virtual Fall Symposium

CONNECTING FOR CHANGE: DESIGNING FOR THE ACTUAL IMPACT OF VIRTUAL INEQUITIES

When the old rules no longer apply, how can design be a catalyst for change in a virtual environment? In the new web of interconnections and landscapes, how do we shift the paradigm of traditional educational experiences to expand the opportunities for quality as the prerequisite for achieving the fundamental goal of equity?

Design education has the opportunity to reframe the existing disparities and inequities, bringing a change to the creation of knowledge and design connections that break a digital divide between uneven access to use or the impact of learning environments, generating virtual platforms to highlight creativity and innovation. Act with self-efficacy and refuse mediocrity, show the ability to take risks and ignore the fears that inhibit creation and challenge the existing paradigm. To impart real impact and ignite change, design with a sense of self-efficacy and make an impact.

We invite presentations that explore all perspectives of the unbuilt virtual environment with implications for creative scholarship, pedagogy, design, and practice.
