CONVERSATION: Entangled Responsibilities: Food, Scale and Design Research Beyond the Human
This Conversation addresses an emerging orientation in design research toward the concept of ‘design beyond the human’ (Caccavale and Hush, 2026), with a specific focus on how embodied, relational, and more-than-human methods can operate as rigorous and accountable design research practices. This conversation foregrounds practices and rituals around food and water as methodological apparatuses for thinking-with and -through, enabling engagement with epistemic, ontological, and axiological questions that are increasingly central to design research in contexts of ecological transition, and long taken up, by example, by Indigenous Feminist scholars (eg. Moreton-Robinson, 2013). Furthermore, the concept of scale, as proposed by design anthropologist, Jamer Hunt (2020), is leveraged as a methodological lens through which these concerns can be productively examined. | ||
