Recap

After starting this blog about a bit later than intended, I will try and summarise what has gone on so far. Over the last 3 weeks we have been doing 3 separate modules in the Design Ethnography course at Dundee. They are Design Ethnography, People and Design and Design Led Product and Service Innovation.

The Design Ethnography module has mainly contained learning and practicing various fieldwork techniques including interviewing and field-note taking, and also learning about the professional debate.

The People and Design module has so far included 2 lectures from Terry Irwin, on Worldview and the McDonaldization of society. There has been some very interesting points on certainty, sustainability and the future of design.

The DLPSI module has involved learning about innovation, strategy and processes in relation to design, particularly in a business sense.

It's been a fair amount of information to try and take in, analyse and then relate to a personal stance, and I think it will be easier to do this once the projects get in to full swing.
