A design mindset for transdisciplinary collaboration
Reviewing how design skills, competencies, and practices can support collaboration
Completed: 2022
The general purpose of this project is to understand how design components can help people across disciplines collaborate. We have published a series of papers. We have identified good practices for collaboration documented in diverse fields such as economics, health, and design. We have proposed that design methods can enhance collaboration between different arts and sciences. We have also documented how the field of translation studies could provide good practices for enabling successful transdisciplinary collaborations
