Repositioning the graphic designer as researcher
No full textIn academic terms, the discipline of graphic design is relatively young. Consequently the position of the discipline within academic territory, and the role of the designer, continue to be debated. In part, these debates have been a product of attempts to define and defend the discipline’s borders from within, in order to establish a sense of the role of graphic design and the graphic designer as commensurate with other disciplines both within and beyond art and design. In recent years graphic designers have variously been defined as ‘authors’, ‘producers’ and ‘readers’, yet none of these definitions seem to have provided any kind of productive or lasting impact within the academy. This paper suggests that rather than continue to seek territorial definitions and positions from within, it could be more productive to look beyond the confines of the discipline. Gaining a broader, interdisciplinary perspective on, and understanding of, qualitative research methods from other disciplines may enable the graphic designer to more fully position his or her practice within the wider academy. Such a perspective could help facilitate the repositioning and redefinition of the graphic designer as ‘researcher’ - a move that would be productive in relation to the future development of postgraduate research within the discipline
Where Participatory Approaches Meet Pragmatism in Funded (Health) Research: The Challenge of Finding Meaningful Spaces
No full textThe term participatory research is now widely used as a way of categorising research that has moved beyond researching "on" to researching "with" participants. This paper draws attention to some confusions that lie behind such categorisation and the potential impact of those confusions on qualitative participatory research in practice. It illuminates some of the negative effects of "fitting in" to spaces devised by other types of research and highlights the importance of forging spaces for presenting participatory research designs that suit a discursive approach and that allow the quality and impact of such research to be recognised. The main contention is that the adoption of a variety of approaches and purposes is part of the strength of participatory research but that to date the paradigm has not been sufficiently articulated. Clarifying the unifying features of the participatory paradigm and shaping appropriate ways for critique could support the embedding of participatory research into research environments, funding schemes and administration in a way that better reflects the nature and purpose of authentic involvement
A Visual Analysis of Meet … Captain Cook (2011) – a Modern Australian Picture Book
No full textThis article analyses how images and text have been used in the children’s picture book Meet … Captain Cook (2011) by using the Ideational, Interpersonal and Textual metafunctions developed by Clare Painter et al. (2013). The metafunctions operate simultaneously and are about something (ideational), enable communicative interaction with others (interpersonal), and make sense in relation to previous understandings (textual). An examination of the images and texts using this framework will facilitate an insight into how the author and illustrator of Meet … Captain Cook explore Cook and his legacy, notably his first encounter with the First Nations peoples of Australia, and how it contrasts with the historical record. The metafunctions developed by Painter reveal an often-precarious balancing of a long-standing and often uninterrogated respect for Cook and the colonial legacy of white possession and Indigenous dispossession
Diverse boards, rather than CEOs, are key to advancing equity and diversity in companies
No full textAmerican companies face mounting pressure to advance workplace equity and diversity.

But what is the best path for companies to achieve these goals? Using data from Fortune 500 firms, Alison Cook and Christy Glass argue that the key is promoting diversity on the board of directors
