The Pisa performance gap between national and expatriate students in the United Arab Emirates
In most education systems, students with an immigrant background perform worse academically than do native students. However, in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) differences emerge in the opposite direction and the national-expatriate gap in academic performance is equivalent to almost three years of schooling. This gap is a concern in the UAE, where national students mainly attend public schools while expatriates mostly attend private schools. In …
Inheritors of the Yellow River: The relationship of heritage making practices to cultural self-confidence in China
Through active involvement in UNESCO's ICH (Intangible Cultural Heritage) programme, China has developed its own framework to support traditional making practices. To examine the 'characteristics' of heritage crafts preservation in China, we undertook empirical research in the Yellow River basin. Our research involved in-depth observations and key informant interviews with a range of highly accomplished craftspeople who have inherited their parti…

Wrestling with Tradition: Revitalizing the Orkney Chair and Other Culturally Significant Crafts
Across the world, “culturally significant” designs, products, and practices – such as traditional crafts – have been pushed to the margins by the forces of modernization and globalization. Appreciation of the positive attributes of these traditions drives widespread revitalization initiatives, often involving designers. Awareness of the cultural ramifications of design-led revitalization may deter enthusiasm for radical initiatives and instead pr…

Designing Sustainability: Making Radical Changes in a Material World
What is the relationship between design, sustainability, inner values and spirituality? How can we create designs that provide a convincing alternative to unsustainable interpretations of progress, growth, consumerism and commercialism? Building on the arguments first advanced in his widely acclaimed books Sustainable by Design and The Spirit of Design, Stuart Walker explains how we can achieve the systemic changes needed to address the challenge…
Reframing Progress in the Digital Age: Moving Forward Sustainably
Based on the Quadruple Bottom Line of design for sustainability, we recently introduced the concept of ‘Cyber-Sustainability’ as a means of discussing the degree to which the current trajectory of Web-mediated technologies may not be sustainable with respect to environmental, social, spiritual, and secondarily economic human needs. This paper introduces, as an additional concern, society’s increased dependence on digitisation, which decreases soc…
Henry Ford's War on Jews and the Legal Battle against Hate Speech
Almost all Americans, we can safely assume, recognize the name Henry Ford and are familiar with the man's legendary role in the history of the automobile. A certain number of people are also familiar with the notorious anti-Semitic tract The Protocols of the Elders of Zion (1903). And Louis Marshall, the founder and first director of the American Jewish Committee, is probably familiar to leaders of the Jewish community. At best, perhaps a few spe…
The Object of Nightingales: Design Values for a Meaningful Material Culture
This discussion considers a basis for design values that is congruent with age-old understandings of human meaning as well as with contemporary notions of sustainability. A critique of naturalistic materialism and its relationship to unsustainable interpretations of progress and growth is followed by a consideration of practical, social, and personal meaning and the relationship of these to human values. A basis for meaningful values emerging fro…

Sambo's Stones: Sustainability and Meaningful Objects
This discussion considers potential future developments in the design and making of our material goods so that they may become not only more consistent with the social and environmental aspects of sustainability, but also more enduring and personally meaningful elements of our culture. Four disparate artifacts are examined that respectively represent cultural meaning, utilitarian meaning, an unsuccessful combination of the two, and finally a succ…
After Taste – The Power and Prejudice of Product Appearance
This paper considers the meaning of taste in relation to convention, associations with cultural elitism, innovation and creativity, and aesthetic discrimination. This is followed by a discussion of the relationship of taste to ‘design for sustainability’. Drawing on the work of authors such as Thackara and Chapman, it is demonstrated that diversity in taste can be accommodated and welcomed within this relatively new and developing area of design.…
The contested concept of sustainable aviation
International passenger aviation has increased threefold in the last 25 years and is predicted to continue a similar rapid expansion over the next 25 years. While bringing considerable economic benefits, growth of the aviation sector is also likely to lead to greater adverse social and environmental impacts. To address this, sustainable aviation policy is framed as a ‘balanced strategy’. While this emphasizes the economic benefits of the aviation…

La consommation responsable: Perspectives nouvelles dans les domaines de la conception de produits
La consommation durable, responsable ou citoyenne, est un sujet qui, au cours des dix dernières années, a gagné en intérêt alors que la nécessité de modifier les modes de consommation actuels, plus particulièrement dans les pays industrialisés, est reconnue comme un objectif essentiel dans la poursuite d’un développement durable. C’est ainsi que de nombreux citoyens et groupes d’intérêt manifestent ouvertement leur mécontentement et leur insatisf…
