"Moon Under Water -- Community under Covid" keynote at @liudesign's yearly #designtalks by @MikePress

Amazing to see two of the @tnw_2017 partner instuitions @McrSchArt and @ImaginationLanc cited in @AnnaWhicher @ahrcpress report. That’s 3 out of 7 in the U.K. in the north west. Demonstrates the strength and depth of design research in the region.

Great summary of where you can study design for policy (although no substitute for learning on the job too)...
