Building Multidisciplinary Relationships through Social Impact Design

Abstract: Over the course of the past two decades, technological advancements have transformed design from a predominantly print-based medium into an increasingly varied and interdisciplinary field; within the last several years alone, the creative industry has shifted from artifact-based models to research/strategy approaches. This panel, consequently, will focus on collaborations between various fields of academic study and research to address complex problems from a social impact design perspective. Panel Moderator: Anne Berry (Art and Design) Panelists: Shereen Naser (Psychology), Cigdem Slankard (Film and Media Arts)
