Taught By: Nariman Gathers
Section: B

CRN: 14712

Credits: 3

This course introduces students to competing perspectives on the conditions of possibility, consequences, and working of economies and on the sociological universes that make these economies possible. Merging design and the social sciences including economic sociology, political economy, philosophy, geography and anthropology, the course equips students with tools for making sense of and testing approaches to the understanding of contemporary economies and societies. Key course themes include the ways human actors understand and create economies and societies; emergent economic perspectives and developments such as platformization, crypto finance, and blockchains that are revising inherited assumptions about modern economies; and the impact of design research and practice on contemporary relations of exchange and production--and of current relations of economization on design research and practice. Bridging the social sciences and design, students make to think and think to make economic things on the ground.
