Graphic Design Research Beyond REF 2021

Building on recent scholarship, it will speculate on a future for graphic design studies and the need for more coherence, consensus, stability, and standards i n graphic design research.

• REF criteria


• Research leadership challenges

  and views from graphic design educators.
