Each student’s contribution will be noted and factored into the final grade. The instructors will monitor these exchanges and (contribute when appropriate). This platform enables a reading group to highlight text and engage in a text-based conversation, not unlike ‘chat’ spaces in other platforms. For assigned readings, students are required to contribute at least 5 reflections/critiques/questions for each text, using the Perusall online platform. Approximately 45 minutes – 1 hour of outside reading that has two components: 1) the seminar website page for that class and 2) assigned readings. Readings: This is a seminar class and therefore involves extensive reading as the basis for class discussions and to inform the five assignments.All classes will be recorded so students will retain access to the lectures in this form (instructor slide decks will not be shared/distributed.) The assigned texts directly inform the five assignments and students will be asked to speculate upon and demonstrate these connections on the project work.
Topical Lectures: There will be a wide range of brief lectures that frame the course modules and provide a theoretical foundation for the diverse topics covered in the seminar.There are four components to this course: 1) topical lectures (via zoom) 2) readings (accessed via Perusall & the seminar website) 3) in-class discussions (via Zoom) 4) five assignments (via Miro and Medium). Each student will be assigned to a team of 5-6 people and will collaborate with team mates to discuss assigned texts and complete the assignments. This is a seminar course with five collaborative, team-based assignments. If any student has a concern/issue connected to recording sessions, please ask to speak with the instructor at the conclusion of the first class. All class sessions will be recorded in Zoom for use within the seminar cohort only. The spring, 2022 Transition Design Seminar course will be taught entirely online using Zoom, Miro, Perusall and Medium platforms. Transition Design is a new field of design research, study and practice that proposes design-led transition toward more sustainable futures and that aims to prepare generations of designers to take up this important work. The Transition Design Seminar is a semester-long course that meets on Monday and Wednesday mornings from 8:35 – 9:55 am, EST, and is delivered 100% online, using a combination of technologies outlined below. This course aims to familiarize students with the concepts of ‘societal transitions,’ ‘sustainability transitions’, ‘transition theory,’ and ‘systems-level change,’ which can now be found within many fields, disciplines and grassroots movements and initiatives such as: The Commons Transition Just Transitions Transition Town Network The Great Transition Initiative Sustainability Transitions Research Network The Next Systems Project and the School of Systems Change, to name a few.
