Sort by ⤻ Creative ⤻ Research ⤻ Teaching/Learning
Lisa Baumgarten is a critical design mediator working in design, research, as writer and as teacher/learner. She is the co-creator of the participatory research platform Teaching Design which focuses on design education from intersectional feminist and decolonial perspectives. In the course of the platform Lisa has been facilitating a conversational series together with Judith Leijdekkers funded by the Stimuleringsfonds.
Lisa has been teaching design theory and practice as adjunct lecturer at German and international design universities since 2017. From Oct 2021–Sep 2022 Lisa held a position as interims professor of Design Sciences (Verwaltung der Professur Designwissenschaften) at the Institute of Design Research at University of the Arts Braunschweig where she facilitated seminars in the M.A. program Transformation Design. Since Oct 2022 Lisa is a guest professor at Studiengruppe Informationdesign (Communication design) at Burg Giebichenstein, University of Art and Design Halle.
Her current research focuses on design education, its entanglements with neoliberalism and formats of resonating and emancipatory teaching-/learning experiences. Lisa’s research and writing has been published and presented amongst others at Attending [to] Futures Conference at KISD Cologne, Creative Bodies—Creative Minds Conference, Graz, Designsymposium Kompliz*innen at BURG Halle, the The German Society for Design Theory and Research (DGTF) as well as form design magazine. Her most recent essay (form, n°293), written in collaboration with design philosopher Mara Recklies, is concerned with digital teaching tools and their effects on teaching-/learning spaces in design education.
