PhD student awarded Design Research Award

PhD Student at KADK Li Jönsson has been awarded by Designfakulteten (The Swedish Faculty for Design Research and Research Education) for her thesis Design Events, which she defended on the 7th of November 2014.

Li Jönsson’s Design Events gives an excellent example of how to accommodate a designerly engagement, that doesn't contribute to a quick solution to a problem, but instead illustrates a practice that opens up alternative ways to understand, intervene and expand issues.

Designfakulteten's (The Swedish Faculty for Design Research and Research Education’s) Design Research Award recognizes excellent design research conducted by researchers who defended a thesis on design research orientation at a Swedish university. The prize is established by the Swedish Design & Research Network and is SEK 10 000.
