Paul Rodgers Design Priority Area Leadership Fellowship

我的愿景，在整个奖学金和AHRC设计倡议“为变革而设计”，是实现真实的和持久的转变和影响，制定替代，积极的，并帮助实现真实的发展设计研究的文化，这将使其为未来的挑战。这需要比传统的定量和定性研究更多的东西。它需要证据来获得信息，需要直觉来激励我们想象和创造新的更好的可能性。我的目标是实现变革，使个人、群体、社区和整个社会的生活发生真实的变化。与其他学科领域的研究人员合作，我将率先确定合作机会，研究趋势，并代表AHRC组织活动，并努力围绕关键挑战（例如可持续性，健康，安全，护理，贫困）塑造首选现实和积极的未来愿景，其中设计思想和行动是关键。例如，这可能涉及共同设计和共同开发将使人们摆脱贫困的新产品。它可能包括设计创新的护理服务，以改善全国家庭的健康和福祉。它可能包括设计和制定新的政策，以减少对我们星球的进一步伤害。我的愿景将在其范围内具有包容性，并鼓励采用和利用不同类型的设计研究的项目，包括实验，基于实践和混合的方法和方法。这将展示共存的各种设计研究文化，并在迅速成为一个非常健康和成熟的研究领域中庆祝这种多元化。奖学金的作用将使我能够鼓励和加强项目下的“设计为改变”的旗帜，利用研究方法和方法，适合他们的目的。“为变革而设计”将借用适合物理科学、社会科学、艺术和人文科学的方法和途径。采用多元化的方法将允许在设计和其他学科的范围内进行灵活和开放的探索，并将支持将这些跨学科的方法和社区聚集在一起，以加强设计研究基础。通过建立有目的的关系，设计研究人员（与其他学科，专业人士和公民合作）将提高他们自己和他人的能力，挑战现有的经济，社会，环境和政治模式。这将有助我们了解和加强设计研究和设计实践（即设计顾问公司/机构和设计教学）与最终用户之间的相互关系。例如，创造更可持续的产品设计、服务和流程，同时重新思考政策如何更好地发挥作用。然而，仅仅合作是不够的。我们需要改变共同设计、共同创新和共同生产的文化，共同决定和社会组织我们都将自豪地分享的未来世界。我的信念是，设计是最好的工具，我们有意义的复杂，多方面的世界，我们都居住。设计的方式，它可以全面地探索，批评和定义需要做什么，综合和提出未来的场景，并提出，可视化，并传达这些想法给他人可以在塑造首选的现实和未来的经验的最前沿。目标是建立机制，加强共同设计，共同创新和共同生产，共同决定和塑造首选的情况。

My vision, throughout this fellowship and in line with the AHRC Design initiative "Design for Change", is to achieve real and long-lasting transformation and impact, to enact alternative, positive, and help achieve real developments within the culture of design research that will equip it for the challenges of the future. This requires more than traditional quantitative and qualitative research. It requires evidence to become informed and intuition to inspire us in imagining and creating new and better possibilities. My aim is to achieve change that will make real differences to the lives of individuals, groups, communities and society as a whole. Working collaboratively with researchers in other disciplinary areas, I will take the lead in identifying opportunities for collaboration, trends in research, and organising events on behalf of the AHRC and work to shape preferred realities and positive future visions around key challenges (e.g. sustainability, health, security, care, poverty) where design thought and action is key. For example, this may involve the co-design and co-development of novel products that will lift people out of poverty. It might include the design of innovative services in care that will improve the health and well being of families across the country. It may comprise the design and development of new policies that will reduce further harm to our planet. My vision will be inclusive in its scope and encourage projects that adopt and utilize an mélange of different types of design research including experimental, practice-based, and hybrid approaches and methods. This will show the various cultures of design research that coexist and celebrate this pluralism in what is rapidly becoming a very healthy and mature field of research. The fellowship role will allow me to encourage and enhance projects under the "Design for Change" banner to utilize research approaches and methods that fit their purpose. "Design for Change" will borrow methods and approaches that fit from the physical sciences, the social sciences, and the arts and humanities if and when the situation arises. Adopting a pluralistic approach will allow for a flexible and open-minded exploration across the breadth of design and other disciplines and will support bringing these cross-disciplinary methodologies and communities together to strengthen the Design research base. By building purposeful relationships design researchers (working with other disciplines, professionals and citizens) will enhance their own and others' abilities to challenge existing economic, social, environmental, and political models. This will help us to understand and strengthen the inter-relations between design research and design practice (i.e. design consultancies / agencies and design teaching), and end-users. Creating, for instance, more sustainable product design, services, and processes, whilst rethinking how policy might work better. Collaboration alone, however, will not be enough. We require shifts in our cultures of co-design, co-innovation, and co-production, collectively deciding and socially organizing the future world that we will all be proud to share. My belief is that design is the best tool that we have for making sense of the complex, multi-faceted world we all inhabit. Design in the way that it can holistically explore, critique, and define what needs to be done, synthesize and propose future scenarios, and present, visualize, and communicate those ideas to others can be at the forefront of shaping preferred realities and future experiences. The objective being to develop mechanisms for enhanced co-design, co-innovation, and co-production, collectively deciding and shaping preferred situations.
