Design Incubation 11.1: Boston University

BU College of Fine Arts School of Visual Arts presents Design Incubation 11.1: Boston University, organized by the MFA Graphic Design program.

Kristen Coogan, Associate Professor of Graphic Design and Chair of Graduate Graphic Design, along with Assistant Professor of Graphic Design Mary Yang and the Boston University Graphic Design (BUGD) department, have partnered with Design Incubation (DI) to launch DI’s tenth-anniversary colloquium as part of BUGD Design Week in October 2024. DI is a national platform for educators and practitioners of Graphic Design to discuss design research and practice. Past Design Incubation colloquia have been hosted by institutions such as the Rhode Island School of Design, Parsons The New School, and St. John’s University, as well as through national organizations including the College Art Association and AIGA (the Professional Association for Design). DI aims to foster a community where designers can evaluate creative work through the lens of scholarly activity and academic review.

The 2024 Colloquium will showcase design research in lively, interactive sessions featuring practitioners, creators, educators, and students in a live, in-person event. These sessions will explore creative research, practice, and the adjacent fields that influence their work.
