Abstract Proceedings e-Book for the Design Studies Symposium 2023 is available now!

The Design Studies Symposium 2023 (DSS 2023), organized in collaboration with İzmir University of Economics Graduate School Design Studies Master's and PhD Programs and the Faculty of Fine Arts and Design, took place on June 1-2 this year with the theme "Realities and Boundaries." The event hosted rigorous discussions in the field of design, focusing on the participation of academics and the presentation of graduate student research through articles and poster sessions.

In the post-pandemic era, the symposium aimed to address the myriad parallel and overlapping realities of design across all subfields, from case/field application ideas to quantitative/scientific data surveys and research encompassing social, theoretical, and historical aspects.

As an outcome of the symposium, the accepted abstract submissions have been published online in the form of an abstract proceedings book. You can access the abstract proceedings book through this link: DSS 2023 Abstract Proceedings e-Book.

Work is ongoing for the full-text proceedings book, which will be derived from the selected abstracts.
