SDAJournal

Contexts–The Systemic Design Journal is an open-access, peer-reviewed research journal supported by members of the Systemic Design Association. It is the first journal dedicated to scholarly reporting and research studies in the interdisciplinary field of systemic design. Authors are invited to submit papers at any time.

SDACOMMUNITY

The Systemic Design Association provides an international community home for the wide range of designers and scholars leading emerging practices, design-led systems research, and advanced design methods evolving from systems thinking and design. Membership shows your support for the movement toward systemic design. Join to be a part of the growing SDA community.

SDAPRACTICE

Systemic design has moved toward pragmatic practice. By sharing methods and cases through the annual RSD symposia, practitioners are building a common understanding. SDA creates opportunities for dialogue that contribute to guiding principles for systemic design practice.

SDATHEORY

The SDA was formed to convene educators, practitioners, and researchers to co-evolve an interdisciplinary field over the long term. The field emerging as systemic design has jumped ahead to engage societal issues now recognised as ever more important for designers to address, ranging from design for health and well-being, quality of life, socioeconomics, urbanization, policy design, and cultural development.

SDANEWSLETTER

The Systemic Design Association will send you quarterly updates on systemic design and activities in the SDA network. During the annual Relating Systems Thinking and Design (RSD) Symposium timeframe SDA will send brief updates related to RSD keynotes, papers, and workshops.

RSD11 event updates, program content, and proceedings are posted on RSDsymposium.org.

Thanks!
