One More Thing — Design, Theory, Practice and the Future of Scholarship

A topic near and dear to my heart, and I’m glad to rattle off some pecha kucha thoughts on this topic.

Adobe and the USC School of Cinematic Arts invites you to attend the following event:

Design, Theory, Practice and the Future of Scholarship

Description: What will the next generation of design scholarship look like? In many circles, the archaic stillness of traditional academic texts has given way to new forms of expression that are computational, visual, sonic, mobile or interactive. Join us for a dynamic roundtable pecha kucha-style showdown. It features five designer-scholars: Julian Bleecker, Kristy Kang, Veronica Paredes, Jen Stein, and Steve Anderson, each of whom is operating at the intersection of theory and practice in their production of artistic and scholarly works.

Host: Adobe School Connection
When: Monday 19 May 2008, 01:00 PM – 02:30 PM
