Design PHD Conference at Lancaster University

I am very excited to be attending the 2011 Design PHD Conference at the Imagingation Lancaster Lab at Lancaster University next month.

The Imagination lab are doing some really interesting work in the areas of

• Democratising Innovation (i.e Von Hippel’s book – free download!)
• Design for Sustainability
• Design Futures
• Design Management
• Service Design

I have been particularly interested in the work of Daniela Sangiorgi who has been doing a lot of work as part of the service design department in social innovation and participatory design approaches.

Doing some background research so I know who to bump heads with at the conference! Excitement 🙂
