    Local contexts as alternative knowing spaces for design fields
    (Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2023) Öz, Gizem
    Lately, the notion of a single, unified form of knowledge has been questioned, and there has been increasing recognition of the importance of context-specific, varied forms of knowledge. This shift is reflected in the field of design studies, where there is a growing movement away from dominant models and strategies and towards contextually based methodologies and a pluralistic knowledge space of design. This paper explores the idea of diverse and equitable 'ecologies of knowledge' to understand the interplay between forms of knowledge and the customs and values that either facilitate or hinder their co-creation. Respectively, local contexts and knowledge are proposed as alternative spaces in which pluralistic design knowledge can flourish. By bringing together the latest efforts in design towards plurality with the ecologies of knowledge framework, this paper provides insights into the methods and processes involved in collaboration and co-creation of new knowledge within design research. These guidelines can aid designers and researchers in formulating methods that are contextually relevant and mutually agreed upon when engaging with local communities and in forging more accountable and epistemically imaginative links with local contexts.

    Apprenticeship-Type Learning in the Local: Insights from a Cooperative Weaving Practice for Design Education
    (Springer Nature, 2023) Öz, Gizem; Timur, Ş.
    A growing area in design research concerns learning from local practices and diversifying design’s knowledge space. By understanding and documenting how women in a village in Turkey learn the craft of weaving, this paper reformulates the relationship between the design field and the local context as learning from the local and aims to contributes to the design education field. During the summers of 2017, 2018, and 2019, fieldwork using the participant observation method was conducted in the village. The detailed account of the learning process in this local weaving practice allows us to define this learning as “apprenticeship type learning in the local.” The practice consists of a process in which the forms of learning and teaching are inseparably interwoven with socio-spatial elements. It draws together flexible learning processes where the teaching moments blur and students learn in action in a dialogical exchange through observing and making. During these interactions, the importance of considering the cooperative and social aspects of the learning arises: not only technical knowledge, but also social values and beliefs are transferred in an interdependent process. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
