How can we study and teach design in a way that is participatory and socially engaged? In this timely book, Danah Abdulla challenges us to imagine a design education and design culture that moves beyond Eurocentric and neoliberal frameworks. Drawing on learnings from work with design students, educators and designers in the Arab region, with a particular focus on Jordan and featuring examples from Lebanon, Egypt, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, Abdulla creates a dialogue with who have most at stake in education to imagine how we can develop a collaborative, contextually-based, and socially-relevant design education.
By first contextualising higher education and design education in the region and examining the issues and challenges that are pertinent to the development of curricula and pedagogy, such as power, bureaucracy, language, and access, Danah Abdulla considers the purpose and relevance of design education in contemporary post-colonial societies. She explores regional identity and class divisions between the East and West in relation to the development of design cultures in cities, in addition to different perceptions of design and its value. Abdulla highlights design's role in society and the models of curricula and pedagogy appropriate for developing contextually-situated design education. Outlining skills and strategies for equipping future designers, she proposes new forms of practice and an actionable framework for developing design education.外文書商品之書封，為出版社提供之樣本。實際出貨商品，以出版社所提供之現有版本為主。部份書籍，因出版社供應狀況特殊，匯率將依實際狀況做調整。
