UAL Design Histories
Research Network



The UAL Design Histories Research Network is a new community of practice at UAL, bringing together researchers, staff, and students interested in exploring design history in all its forms. Launched with the symposium The Design of History and the History of Design, the network makes visible the diverse work happening across UAL while fostering exchange, collaboration, and support.

Open to all across the university, the network aims to connect those researching, teaching, or practicing at the intersections of design and history.

If you’d like to be more closely involved in organising or shaping upcoming activities, please get in touch with the convenors:
