Format: Papers, RSD8, Topic: Policy & Governance

Juan de La Rosa, Stan Ruecker, Claudia Grisales and Carolina Giraldo

This paper presents an argument to open possibilities and discussions about the role of design in democratic participation based on the case studies and observations of several grassroots participatory design workshops ran with the intention of producing a tangible transformation of communities. We do not intent to validate the model, but to present it as a conversational object in the role of design in democratic policy making.

The Scholars Spiral

In 2022, the Systemic Design Association adopted the scholars spiral—a cyclic non-hierarchical approach to advance scholarship—and in 2023, launched Contexts—The Systemic Design Journal. Together, the RSD symposia and Contexts support the vital emergence of supportive opportunities for scholars and practitioners to publish work in the interdisciplinary field of systemic design.

The Systemic Design Association's membership ethos is to co-create the socialization and support for all members to contribute their work, find feedback and collaboration where needed, and pursue their pathways toward research and practice outcomes that naturally build a vital design field for the future.
