Teaching & Learning

Co-Lead by: Malé Luján Escalante, UAL:LCC Design School and Christine Mortimer, Management School, Lancaster University

At the core of IsITethical? there is a passion for the design methods that hold spaces for proactive discussions and circumspect reflections, sustaining collaboration of people and actors that may have competing interests and radically different worldviews. 

We explored Ethics through Design Principles with postgraduate students for them to create their own co-design methods in different contexts and domains. 

Following this pedagogical dimension of our work, we showcase projects of engaged research with students via knowledge exchange activities in collaboration across countries, disciplines, institutions and sectors. Beyond collaborative challenges, these projects brought stories of impact to sustain research collaborations, for the students career progressions, and for participants, including public engagements and community building.
