Fundamental change at every level of society is needed to address the issues confronting us in the 21st century. Climate change, loss of biodiversity, depletion of natural resources and the widening gap between rich and poor are just a few of the "wicked problems" that require designers to explore new approaches to problem solving. Transition design engages with these kinds of interconnected problems.
The PhD in Transition Design is for people committed to making positive change in the world. Our program seeks to catalyze the societal shift toward sustainable lifestyles that are simultaneously place-based (local) and internationally networked (global). Design has a critical role to play in driving sustainable change across a range of complex systems-from food, water, materials and products, to transport, healthcare, communications and education.
