Lilián Sánchez-Moreno

Lilian completed a BA in industrial design at the Universidad Iberoamericana in Mexico City in 2009, with an academic exchange on the product design course at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia. She was later awarded a research MA in design (with a focus on history and theory) from the National Autonomous University of Mexico in 2014, where she focused on the relationship between design, consumption and society. She has collaborated with the local government of Zacatecas for the promotion of traditional handcrafts in the north of Mexico, and taught on the design course at IBERO Puebla.

Thesis title

The Articulations of Social Design Discourse within UK Policy, Social Innovation and Design Organisations through the Emergence of ‘Participatory’ Design Practices.

My research

This thesis aims to respond to the dichotomy between design as perceived from its origins in production, and design as a form of social value. Arguably, since Victor Margolin and Sylvia Margolin’s 2002 call for the development of new models of social practice from within the design profession, this reconciliation has not been fulfilled.

As such, from the diverse complexities faced by research into social design, which are ultimately embedded in its discourse, the thesis explores the discursive processes involved in the establishment of social responsibility in British design. In so doing, it seeks to understand the shifts in perception of social responsibility from the 1970s to contemporary practice.

Likewise, the thesis focuses on the material productions that emerged and continue to flourish under the discourse of social responsibility-arguing that the materiality borne from practices of social design, has been enacted by such discourse, and can thus, be posited as a product that is composed of different temporalities of the notion of the self (the designer), the environment, and ‘otherness’ producing processes. This in turn, aims to shed light on the myriad of discourses involved in the production of such objects, systems, services, etc., as they are framed under the overarching concept of social design.
