[CALL FOR PAPERS - EXTENDED] REVISTA GEMInIS V. X N. x (MAY/AUG. 2022) DOSSIER: LINK2022 Collection: Practice-led Research in Communication and Design
The GEMInIS Journal is open for articles until the 26/04/22, destined to the thematic dossier “LINK2022 Collection: The practice-led research in Communication and Design”. This special edition is the result of an international partnership between the Journal GEMInIS, from the Federal University of São Carlos - UFSCar, Brazil and the LINK Practice-led Research Group, from the Auckland University of Technology - AUT, in Aotearoa New Zealand. This edition has as thematic co-editors: Dr Marcos Mortensen Steagall (AUT); Professor João Massarolo (UFSCar); Professor Sergio Nesteriuk Gallo (Anhembi Morumbi University) and Fiona Grieve (AUT). The issue focuses on three thematic areas:
1) Practice-led Research and PhD;
2) Practice, the studio and Design Education;
3) Communication Design Platforms and Technologies
In recent years there has been a growing interest in the relation between research and Artistic and Design practice, and since the validation of practice-oriented research in universities in the 90s, an increasing number of art and design students can submit a creative work along with a written exegesis for assessment purposes.
The consolidation of MA and PhD programmes that incorporate practice in research are growing, and they forge new institutional dimensions where experimentation, critical thinking and practice are occurring simultaneously. Practice is a crucial area for innovation and is particularly important to be considered and weighted on the changes and transformations academic institutions and curricula are facing globally.
The purpose of LINK 2021 is to increase awareness about practice-oriented approaches in Art and Design and to stimulate practitioners and educators to share their approaches and methodologies.
Papers must be submitted using the journal's specific template for this edition, formated as an international issue with submissions restricted to English, and must be submitted through the journal's website - http://www.revistageminis.ufscar.br/index.php/geminis/about/submissions
