Design Studies: Histories

5 units · Undergraduate

Fall: 5 units Histories explores a plurality of design histories extending beyond the dominant, Anglo-European story of Design. Through a series of guest lectures, critical readings, and offsite explorations, you will expand your understanding of histories, which evolve and change over time in the context of broader social, technological, environmental, economic, and political developments. Coursework includes exploring, developing, and documenting diverse historical perspectives of a research interest of your choice. Final projects will culminate in a presentation of student work.
