Care to Repair: Design for the Circular Economy
Get PDFThe exhibition showcases work by students in the second year of the BA(Hons) Sustainable Product Design course at Falmouth University. The course teaches students how to design innovative solutions that address global challenges, engaging with social innovation, environmental and economic sustainability.
The Right to Repair is a global movement established to empower consumers to be able to fix the products
they own when they stop working. The approach enables access to the tools and parts needed for repairs, and the information required (such as manufacturer’s manuals) to understand how to disassemble, fix the problem, and reassemble a product. Being able to repair products to extend their longevity is a critical part of the circular economy.
The students were asked to design a small domestic appliance embracing Right to Repair and circular
design thinking. They explored opportunities for products that heat, such as toasters and kettles, products that move, such as kitchen scales and fans, or products that do both, such as hairdryers and heaters. The students were challenged to develop products with a 100 year life span that encourage environmentally sustainable behaviour.
This was a live project brief supported by design consultancy, Bang Creations. The company have much expertise in the development of consumer products and shared their own approaches to sustainable product design as part of the module

The Home ECOnomics Report
No full textHome ECOnomics report; a report in which Ecover aimed to better understand the complexities behind the British public’s laundry and cleaning habits and their environmental impact, so that the public can take better steps for the good of the planet. The research was conducted through a combination of extensive literature and academic reviews, focusing on the historical, cultural, and technological evolution of laundry practices. By examining past and present advertising strategies and consumer behaviours, the team of academics were able to identify key trends and factors that influence modern laundry habits. A nationally representative survey in collaboration with Find Out Now took place in August 2024, when 2,000 British residents were surveyed to capture a snapshot of how people across the country approach their laundry routines, their motivations for washing, and their attitudes toward clean clothes
MAI Feminism & Visual Culture: Focus Issue Fourteen: Feminist Pedagogies in Games (Autumn 2024)
No full textWe offer the articles in this focus issue for your consideration.
First, you will find a portfolio of contributions about teaching games design—a collection of expert voices from feminists who have worked in this male-dominated field. Commissioned by our guest editors, Rebecca Rouse, Josefin Westborg and Amy Corron Youmans, these texts illuminate how games of all sorts, so popular and instrumental when it comes to socialisation today, still cannot depart from internalised patriarchal gender norms and expectations. As much as such observations add to our concerns, we cheer our games authors for their future-orientated approach and the many proposed strategies to address and change the old-school teaching methods, to make critical interventions and raise awareness of their students and colleagues.
Similarly, we applaud other authors included in the second half of this focus issue for their courageous articulation of thoughts on film, photography, art, books, and music that centre on women’s experiences, which tend to be dismissed or treated as a lower priority by ego-driven politicians. Thus, we present you with a few mind-stimulating visual culture evaluations and confessional accounts that pertain to women’s health, ageing, abortion, sexual consent, matricentric cultures and other somewhat naturalised gender expectations that stand in the way of equality across the globe
