    I hope to see you at an event soon.

    April 1st - Innovation Interface
    Design is often considered to be a master at multi-disciplinarity. In this paper I consider how ‘the user’ is central to design’s ability to manage ‘multidisciplinary working’ so very well. I want to argue that ‘the user’, as a boundary object, affords multidisciplinarity in design. Put another way, I want to explore how ‘the user’ as a device is capable of gathering and gluing together many different disciplines. I am critical, however, of the hegemony of the ‘user’ within design. In its place I want to explore the possibility of materialized social practice as a new boundary object and consider what this might mean for design’s multi-disciplinary claim. I will draw on the emergent design field of ‘social innovation’ in making this argument.

    Dr Simon Blyth co-leads the Consumer Experience Design Practice (CXd) at IDEO the design and innovation consultancy. Before IDEO he worked at Unilever and before Unilever he lectured at The University of Southampton.
