It’s the space between boots-on-the-ground reporting and rigorous research, where ideas travel up from the street and down from the clouds—toward clarity, consequence, and context."The diverse range of thesis topics often surprises the guest critics who join us for students’ 'work-in-progress' presentations during the academic year. How can Iranian stamps, fertility treatments, and a 1980s rock concert, for example, be part of the same conversation around our seminar room table? The common thread is the mode of analysis: the lens of design. Starting with the designed artifacts—objects, entities, or systems produced to serve a specific purpose– students consider what a design is made of, who made it, and why. It’s an unassuming start to a research journey that may go on to epic, unexpected places over the course of two semesters and, we hope, beyond. Bigger and broader questions of cultural diplomacy, economic exploitation, or social impact unfold and cross-pollinate. New, and often more urgent, levels of conversation and debate flourish. Ideas gain strength and clarity in the written word, all sustained by the common ground of design."—Molly Heintz, Program Chair
