Formerly known as Integrated Research Development. This course builds upon the Research and Development Methods course by offering students the opportunity to experiment with various approaches to the integration of design and research methodologies. In a semester-long project that spans planning, research, implementation and testing, students will experience the unfolding of the design process, with special attention given to the use of iteration and prototyping as a means to generate knowledge and/or innovative solutions. Students gain a theoretical as well as a practical understanding of how to organize and optimize the design process as well as the critical skills to reflect on the design process and its outcomes.

The overall theme in this section is: Equity, Labor, and Design. So-called "human-centered design" methods do not often yield equitable models; and in fact, the most celebrated organizations and ideas rely on precarious models of labor and compensation. Students will learn about more recent justice- and equity-based research methods; and use the artisan sector and the gig economy as case studies through which to explore new ideas. Student projects may range from “know your rights” campaigns for workers, to branding redesigns that reveal “the true cost” of supply chains, to reimagining business models that center workers over shareholders.

The overall theme in this section is Interruption and the many ways that algorithmically driven media and social pressure play in conditioning participants to make fast decisions that do not encourage deeper thought, analysis, or independent thinking. The research process will begin using contemporary and historical contexts that explore the ways influencers and social pressure impact cultural awareness, judgment, and quality of life decisions. Students will develop their projects at this common starting point and develop paths of inquiry based upon their interests, observations, and findings. All readings and related resources will be provided.
