New field of interdisciplinary research
Design anthropology is a new field of interdisciplinary research that has grown steadily in recent years. Today, the boundaries between the physical, social and digital environments have become more fluid. Therefore, it makes sense for established disciplines in the fields of social sciences and design research to work together. The conference will help explore design anthropology as a holistic and critical approach to everyday phenomena.

The research network will aim to strengthen relations in the field
Researchers from KADK, the University of Aarhus and the University of Southern Denmark have joined forces to form the Research Network of Design Anthropology. The network has been given a two-year grant from the Free Research Council, and will, for example, organise conferences, with a view to strengthening the networks international relations.

“This two-year grant has enabled us to establish a strong network of researchers from Rio de Janeiro, Mexico City, Aberdeen, Berkeley, Sønderborg, Aarhus and Stockholm, to name just a few. Soon a book will come out, published by Bloomsbury Press, based on the first three seminars. And there will certainly be a basis for new research collaboration in the wake of the conference.”
