F10 ART 432FDesign as a Catalyst for Change3.0 Units
Description:With a whirlwind of social and cultural transitions emerging across the world, design is being used to address and disrupt, and prevent social challenges that arise-including topics like natural disasters and global water crises to political corruption, increased social injustices, gender inequality, and racial inequity. Designers can serve numerous roles in driving impactful engagement of these issues; their skills are often required to expand beyond artifact-based studio practices to instill greater benefit to their end users, communities, and society at-large. In this course, students will learn and practice skills of community-based social impact design. The focus of this course will emphasize "the work behind the work," as students learn how matters of empathy, equity, privilege, relationship building, and justice integrate into the communications design process when working with(in) communities. As students identify and select a social cause on which to focus, they will develop a series of print and digital works that communicate their chosen issue, pitch proposed design interventions, and visualize collaborative implementation processes. Learning modules will feature weekly readings, direct engagement with social design practitioners, design charrettes, and on-site learning, allowing students to gain greater depth and perspectives for harnessing design as a catalyst for change.

Home/Ident

A course may be either a “Home” course or an “Ident” course.

A “Home” course is a course that is created, maintained and “owned” by one academic department (aka the “Home” department). The “Home” department is primarily responsible for the decision making and logistical support for the course and instructor.

An “Ident” course is the exact same course as the “Home” (i.e. same instructor, same class time, etc), but is simply being offered to students through another department for purposes of registering under a different department and course number.

Students should, whenever possible, register for their courses under the department number toward which they intend to count the course. For example, an AFAS major should register for the course "Africa: Peoples and Cultures" under its Ident number, L90 306B, whereas an Anthropology major should register for the same course under its Home number, L48 306B.
