This call is for links or PDF attachments of completed and accepted PhD theses in design, and in closely related fields such as design anthropology, design thinking, design policy, etc. The research is part of a project conducted with Professor Ken Friedman on the Commonwealth Science and Industry Research Organization (CSIRO) Design Capacity Mapping Project that we are undertaking for the Future Manufacturing Flagship collaborative research program. We have already collected more than 500 PhD theses from around the world.
After we label these, organise them and prepare a bibliography, we will share the entire collection with collaborators and with those who contributed their theses. We are interested in PhD theses from any country and in any language -- in particular, we seek PhD theses from the UK and North America. We also welcome more theses from Scandinavia, Europe, and Asia. We have fewer theses from these regions than we should have, given the growth of PhD programs in design in those regions. We expect to publish a bibliography of our collection in early 2014.
Please email full PDF documents as attachments or simply include the link for download.
