    Team Directed, Project Based Education: A Case Study of an Entrepreneurial, Trans-Disciplinary, Design Studio Abroad
    (2007) Sanematsu, Helen
    This is a report from the trenches. This article offers a critique of a pilot project undertaken by Art Center College of Design, in Pasadena, California. In the summer of 2005, I (along with 1 other Art Center instructor) accompanied 14 Art Center students to participate in a unique, trans-disciplinary, design and project based “start-up” studio in Copenhagen, Denmark. The 14 design students came from various fields (the trans-disciplinary part), who were challenged to produce a professional project (the design and project based part), with no pre-existing working structure (the start-up studio part). How did this project work? What was its outcome? How did its structure emerge? How did we deal with decision-making, establish common goals, insure progress, and satisfy our client, our school, our students, and ourselves as instructors? And what lessons were learned? This is our story, told in 3 parts, with 15 key points for those attempting similar projects.

    Hawthorne Community Center Project
    (Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research, 2010-04-09) Hong, Young-Bok
    Supporting neighborhood-led comprehensive community development strategy, 10 graduate students in the People Centered Design Research Methods Course (V511) will apply participatory design methods and develop a series of engagement tools that will enable people to participate in community development process by revealing their needs from multiple dimensions. The whole process of participatory design aims to develop a better understanding of community needs through design participation. This participation will results in a series of actionable insights for the center to better meet the needs of community members. Purpose of Research To understand the user experience of members of the Hawthorne Community Center, specifically the experiences of working families, ESL students, senior citizens, the homeless, and teens. Working families: To understand the current interactive experience between Parent and child: strengthening parent/child relationships and interactions Children: empowering social and mental skills of children at different ages Parents: supporting the individual identities of parents ESL students: To understand on how language barriers lead to reliance and/or empowerment in the users’ lives Senior citizens: To understand how the seniors’ reliance of the community center and how that changes as they age, and also how empowered they are and this is affected by belonging to the center Homeless: To understand the clients of the Rapid Rehousing and Homeless Prevention program based on their intangible, emotional needs and their physical, tangible needs Teens: Their current personal experience at school and the after- school program

    Street Vending and Design Thinking: A Provocation
    (2011) Sernsukskul, Sareena; Sanematsu, Helen
    The spontaneity of make/do culture of street vendors in Bangkok is an example of the practice of integrative thinking and contextual praxis that predates and parallels the postmodern integrative and contextual advocacies of Design Thinking. It is materialized as resourcefulness and flexibility in the eclectic creation of vending stalls whether mobile or otherwise, and also as the improvisational intervention of street vendors in public space. It taps into the indigenous cultural condition of Buddhism of ‘an aware mind’ which according to Julia Cameron is the state of creativity. Contemporary designers can learn from the practices of the street vendors in Thailand. As such, Thai street vending reveals a link between Thai culture and Buddhism, and Design Thinking.

    Fun with Facebook: The Impact of Focus Groups on the Development of Awareness Campaigns for Adolescent Health
    (2011-02) Sanematsu, Helen
    This project presents a model for developing effective communication by directly engaging designers with their adolescent audience. By conducting focus groups with local youth, we wanted to learn about 1) attitudes and prior knowledge about the areas identified in Indiana's Adolescent Health Plan, and 2) consumption of media (how they consume popular culture and current events) and preferences in programming (what they consume—favorite shows, videos, music, etc.). An additional aspect of this project was the capacity of the design team to interpret and utilize focus group data. A related poster presentation is available from: http://hdl.handle.net/1805/4599

    Remembering Pilgrimage in the Luttrell Psalter
    (2011-04-08) Lee, Jennifer
    This paper examines the theme of pilgrimage throughout the marginal imagery of the fourteenth-century Luttrell Psalter. Pilgrimage emerges as a prominent theme throughout the book's pages and suggests that its patron considered pilgrimage to be an important aspect of his devotional life. Textual evidence for Geoffrey Luttrell's actual pilgrimages supports this idea. This paper is also a demonstration of the benefits to scholarship afforded by the facsimile of the manuscript published in 2006, which allows access to the volume as a compete book rather than selected reproductions of a few well-known pages.

    Performing Pregnancy: Young Moms-to-Be and the Public Performance of Self-Esteem and Support
    (2011-05) Sanematsu, Helen
    This paper describes the current development of an interactive community health education piece that targets young, pregnant women using an interactive wall. Foregrounding the pregnant form of the women, and working within the constraints of conventional media, we attempt to reverse the stigma associated with pregnancy in the lower end of the age range through positive and playful messages that give voice to the child-to-be and enlist the help and support of others.
