After a week of presentations, workshops, and panels at DRS26, this debrief session will unpack (and repack) key themes and questions...
About this Event

How do we value (and make best use of) design-led research? In a field noted for its pluralistic approaches, how can we articulate and mobilise the potential and value of this diverse form of practice? What gets lost in translation between design, academia and civic society? In a world that is ‘unthinkable’, how can design-led research help us locate a more hopeful future?

Doors at 10:30am, light refreshments provided, with chances to mingle before and after the event. Part of DRS26 Fringe.
