SUMMARY:DoWell Co-Design Lectures Series 2024-2025: Session 6 - The Gallery\, Material and Wellbeing
DESCRIPTION:Dr Lynn Setterington and Dr Dena Bagi\, DoWell\, Manchester Metropolitan University\, discuss their gallery-based practices\, which aim to improve/maintain the wellbeing of those involved in working with craft materials.  The pair\, who practice as an artist-academic and pedagogical designer in the gallery context\, will explore material-based engagement methods used in the gallery context. They will also touch on the gallery as a space for healing/wellbeing. Lynn talks directly about her ongoing project at Gallery Oldham\, and Dena presents the outcome of her PhD\, Clay Pedagogy. Both projects explore how collective material-based making in the gallery space can aid a healing journey or general wellbeing. \n\n\n\nDoWell Co-Design Workshop and Lectures Series 2024-2025 \n\n\n\nThe DoWell research group offers an expanded interdisciplinary workshop and lectures series this year to provide the opportunity for colleagues to explore an exciting range of different topics\, including practices and approaches to co-designing in various health and care contexts. The format of the monthly sessions is more flexible this year\, including online presentations and panel discussions as well as in-person workshops for colleagues to get hands-on experience and get involved in the different approaches to co-design. The workshops aim to provide a forum and time for colleagues to meet\, and to foster discussion and cross-faculty collaboration.

SUMMARY:DoWell Co-design Lecture Series 2024-2025: Session 7 – Co-Designing with Neurodiverse People: An Embodied Creativity Perspective 
DESCRIPTION:Dr Laura Malinin is Inaugural Director of Nancy Richardson Design Center and Associate Professor of Interior Architecture + Design of Colorado State University. In this presentation\, she describes two multi-year projects where an interdisciplinary group of researchers and students engaged neurodiverse people in co-design processes to improve inclusion and engagement in community programming. The first case involved older adults with dementia and their care partners to develop community performing arts programming. The second project engaged a group of autistic youth to improve visit-ability at a science museum. The projects will be discussed using the lens of embodied creativity as a framework to explain the design and methods used in the different cases as well as outcomes. \n\n\n\nDoWell Co-Design Workshop and Lectures Series 2024-2025 \n\n\n\nThe DoWell research group offers an expanded interdisciplinary workshop and lectures series this year to provide the opportunity for colleagues to explore an exciting range of different topics\, including practices and approaches to co-designing in various health and care contexts.
