Bättre avfallshantering i Sundsvall : Mittuniversitetets slutrapport från förstudien
- 2018
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Förstudien syftar till att tillsammans med MittSverige Vatten & Avfall (MSVA) ta fram verktyg för att informera om vinsterna med källsortering och påverka för att nå en bättre, mer hållbar avfallshantering i Sundsvall. En hållbar avfallshantering bidrar till att ge förutsättningar för en hållbartillväxt och god livsmiljö i Sundsvall. I förstudien presenteras exempel och förslag på hur visualiseringar kan bidra till att förbättra avfallshanteringen i Sundsvalls kommun. Inom ramen för studien har också en Återbruksfestival genomförts i syfte att undersöka och uppmärksamma vad som slängs samt ge konkreta exempel på återvinning och återbruk. Vidare genomfördes ett seminarium baserat på underliggande arbete kring hur papper och kartong kan användas som material för att ersätta hushållsförpackningar i plast. Förstudien utgör också en del i arbetet mot visionen att initiera forskning i samverkan med de aktörer i regionen som kan se nytta av design och visualisering i sin egen verksamhet. Förstudien har också bidragit till att ge underlag för framtida inriktningar, förutsättningar, och forskningsfrågor inom visualisering och design.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- During the past years, activist movements have increasingly turned to social media to raise awareness and critically discuss current development and future scenarios. As a contribution to the discussion of new social movements and activism in the digital age, this study aims to explore and critically discuss how environmental risks and crisis are visually communicated in activism campaigns on Instagram, through a case study on Extinction Rebellion Sweden (XRsv). The study is delimited to the first 334 posts on XRsv's Instagram between November 14, 2018 and March 1, 2020. Methods used are interview and content analysis. In conclusion, XRsv has adopted aspects of design activism including visual tactics of Informing, Activating and Explaining. These three visual aspects are used by XRsv in an online context enabling interactivity and participatory actions, which in turn forms the core of design activism.

The pedagogy of sustainability in higher education : a case study of sustainability in graphic design education
- 2018
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In 2016, the Swedish Higher Education Authority (UKÄ) was tasked by the Swedish government to conduct an evaluation of efforts by universities to promote sustainable development. The results published in 2017 shows that a quarter of the academic institutions meet the criteria set (Fors, Holmquist, Helldahl, Lundh, Öst, 2017). In 1987, the Brundtland commission's report stated that sustainable development can be defined as a development that satisfies today's needs without compromising the ability of future generations to satisfy their needs (WCED, 1987). In the published text “The Uninhabitable Earth” (Wallace-Wells, 2017) the authors run through a number of extreme climate possibilities, and the article is the most-read article in New York Magazine’s history and has spawned a fleet of commentary across the world. In addition, this topic has been noticed for a long time, even in 200 years ago scholars argued that the Earth's resources were limited (Jonsson, 2017). Despite insights from history, progress towards a sustainable society is slow (Living planet report, 2016). In accordance, we argue that higher education has a responsibility to examine how sustainability can become more extensive in our educational practice. Against this background, this presentation aims to exemplify how the academic subject graphic design at Mid Sweden University has redirected towards a sustainable approach – in education, research and external projects. In accordance, Claudine (2017), argues that good design applied to real world problems can lead to major improvements in lifestyle and living standards. In spring 2014, colleagues of the Graphic Design Program started a project on how sustainable development could be in focus, and a decision was taken to implement UN's 17 sustainable development goals in the education plan. Several new courses were introduced, the design methodology clarified and theoretical perspectives was defined. Today, the graphic design students and researchers at Mid Sweden University promote a Designer as Author perspective (Bestley and Noble, 2016) and the course objectives for the education include being able to demonstrate theoretical and practical design for a sustainable future.

Exploring how crises are visualized in design activism campaigns
- 2021
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In recent years, graphic designers around the world have become increasingly interested in how to make a difference in society (Bennet, 2006). According to Papanek (1985), designers have a moral responsibility to improve the society, and all design should be socially and ecologically conscious. Throughout the history of design activism, visual strategies are used to express and ground a critical discourse. In 1964, twenty British graphic designers signed the First Things First-manifesto, by Ken Garland. The manifesto, called for a return to a humanist aspect of design and was a protest against the trivial productions of mainstream advertising (Garland, 1964). In 2000, The First Things First Manifesto 2000, was published, and the rebirth once again created discussion about graphic design and social responsibility (Garland and Poyner, 2000). In previous studies, design activism is described as challenging the role of design as a marketing tool (Bichler and Beier, 2016). One example is the activism group Extinction Rebellion, a movement that encourages people across the world to act and stop the impact human intervention has on the planet (https://rebellion.earth). Here, visual strategy is that all art work is to be used non-commercially. In research, visual strategy is discussed as a tool to influence opinion (Wong, 2016), change attitude and behavior (Frascara, 2006) and for transformation and social change (Buchanan, 1998; Bichler and Beier, 2016). Against this background, the purpose of this paper is to explore how environmental risks and crises are visualized in contemporary design activism campaigns. This is done by visual content analysis of international activist-campaigns produced during a ten-year period.

Circular Design in Higher Education : Guest-Article published in Climate-KIC – Europe’s leading climateinnovation initiative
- 2020
-
Annan publikation (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- In a sustainable development we meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs (Brundtland, 1987). To achieve this, we must redesign the way we produce, consume and recycle today. Here, design education all over the world has a responsibility supporting the transition to a circular economy. At Mid Sweden University in the northern part of Sweden, design education for a sustainable society is in focus. In the degree programme, students are trained to evaluate design problems, design processes and design solutions in relation to the UN’s global goals for sustainable development. The sustainability goals are included in the programme syllabus, which gives an impact on student assignments, collaboration projects and research. The overall pedagogical view is that good design contributes to mutual understanding and in the long run a better world. A circular design-methodology is part of the education, including a scientific and artistic approach.
