Mer om författaren

Dr Brian Dixon (PhD; MA; BA) is Course Director for MFA Design at the Belfast School of Art, Ulster University. His research interests cohere around: the relevance of practice-orientated philosophies (e.g. pragmatism) for design research; the roles of design in human spatial understanding; and design pedagogy. He holds a PhD in Information Design from University of the Arts London, combined with a practice background in visual communications. He has published widely, with his work appearing in major journals such as Design Issues, CoDesign and Design Management. He is currently co-investigator on the AHRC-funded Design Innovation and Land Assets project, which will feed into a broader arts and humanities based exploration of landscape decision-making in the UK.
