The SDA was formed to convene educators, practitioners, and researchers to co-evolve an interdisciplinary field over the long term.
RSD11 proceedings
The 11th Relating Systems Thinking and Design Symposium was hosted by the University of Brighton, UK. The programme included 122 papers, presented in 30 sessions over four days.
A growing base of research
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.
Resources
The featured resources are uniquely associated with their launch or development at RSD symposia and have continued in development for research, teaching, and training.
Featured books
Recent and upcoming books in systemic design and from SDA authors are featured.
Academic programs
Higher education programs and customizable degrees that include systemic design courses, traditional and new media design, and social science methods courses that round out a systemic design concentration.
