Summary
This edited volume is a timely and comprehensive collection of thought provoking perspectives from leading thinkers in design and innovation and discusses how design might respond to societal challenges towards 2030 for the benefit of society.

Description
The Wiley Handbook of Design +ACY- Innovation presents an extensive yet pragmatic exploration of the future of design and innovation. It goes further than merely making predictions about the future, rather it provides a compelling and meaningful dialogue regarding the broader economic, political and resource challenges society will face towards 2030 and discuss the potential responses that design can make. In doing so the future landscape of design and innovation is explored from multiple perspectives and aims to provide snapshots of the future that inform the practice and study of design today, and into the next decade.

The handbook places design in the wider global landscape +IBM- across both developed and developing countries +IBM- and provides leading thinkers with the opportunity to interrogate its future. This engagement provides the reader with a highly informed perspective on the broad direction of travel for the future of design and innovation and both qualifies and quantifies future trajectories underpinning its development.

This volume considers the contemporary debates of design and innovation, emerging directions, future challenges, manufacturing models, technological futures, interconnectedness and complexity, digital technologies and the impact of the +IBg-digital+IBk-, the changing role and expectations of the consumer, future skills, knowledge and education agendas, design democratisation, and the ever evolving contribution of design to innovatory ways of thinking, doing and being.

An international perspective is provided through case studies, interviews and cutting-edge research. It comprises six main sections:

1.          Foundations +IBM- Foundations for thinking about the future of design

2.          Sectors +IBM- A critique of design and innovation from a sectorial perspective

3.          Skills +IBM- The future of design skills, knowledge and education

4.          Geographies +IBM- Design across the world, regions and nations

5.          Challenges +IBM- Addressing grand challenges through design and innovation

6.          Manifesto +IBM- A Design Manifesto for 2030: Learning from the future to inform the present

Social Justice Repair Kit

The goal of this project is to help youth movements and social justice initiatives to:

• become welcoming environments for youth with learning differences, and
• benefit from the advantages of inclusive design.

The project will provide a hub:

• with toolkits, applications and examples
• to share, repurpose and reuse resources.

The kit will be openly available to any group or individual hosting youth movements, youth action events and social justice movements.

Structuring Analysis for Innovation

Leonardo Three-Year Symposium on the Ph.D. in Art and Design

In 2017, the journal Leonardo celebrates 50 years of publishing research and works of art at the intersection of art, science and technology. As part of the celebrations, we initiated a 3-year symposium to address issues surrounding the development of the Ph.D. in Art and Design. The first articles are about to appear.

Universities around the world are now debating this issue. While the MFA is a terminal degree for professional practice, the Ph.D. is a research degree — the doctor of philosophy. The debate began in the U.K. when independent art and design schools merged with universities or obtained university status in their own right. This led to the question of the standards for appointment and promotion to programs once located in separate institutions that are now located within universities. Universities in Europe, Asia, Australia and North America have joined the conversation by establishing new Ph.D. programs or initiating serious debates on whether — and how — to build them. The question of the Ph.D. for art and design raises many challenging issues. First among these is the nature of research, research training, and the Ph.D. While this issue is obvious to those who have earned a Ph.D. in the natural sciences, social sciences, or liberal arts, it remains complicated in understanding the Ph.D. for art and design.

• What is the Ph.D. in art?
• What is the Ph.D. in design?
• What should a Ph.D. be in a field of professional practice?
• Should there be several kinds of Ph.D. in art and design or one major model?
• Why pursue such a degree?
• What is the nature of such a Ph.D. with respect to
  research quality as distinct from the quality of art or design practice?
• Why are so many programs struggling or going wrong?
• Why do universities and accrediting authorities permit problematic programs to continue?
• Why, in the past, did artists interested in research choose to take a Ph.D. in disciplines outside art?
• Are there specific skills all researchers require without respect to their discipline?
