Brenda Duggan
Dr. Brenda Duggan is a design educator and researcher at Technological University Dublin, teaching visual communication design. Her PhD is in practice-based design with a current research focus on sustainment and ontological questions, examining transdisciplinary synergies for design – through ethnography, design anthropology, new materialism and semiotics. This is with the aim of questioning boundaries between human and more-than-human knowing and sensing, examining limitations of visible language design.
The theme for this conference ‘Tolerance’, engages her research interests in inclusion and pluralism – addressing design’s responsibility within ecological and ethical tolerance.
Dr. Duggan is an active member of the European Culture and Technology Lab (ECT Lab), contributing to internationally funded projects that examine design, ecology, ethics and alternative epistemologies, particularly through the ‘AesThiCo and ‘Epico’ Erasmus + KA 220 projects.
