Students enrolled in Design for Social Change are required to own, rent, download and/or have in their possession the book "From Modernization to Globalization: Perspectives on Development and Social Change," (Blackwell Readers in Sociology)
From Wiley-Blackwell and the short book, "Propaganda," by Edward Bernays.
I recommend that you try to buy "Modernization to Globalization" from a person who took the class last year. It is also available "used" very inexpensively, and I really hope you will buy it used, because it is an expensive book. "Propaganda" is an inexpensive book, so I'm not worried about your spending too much for that one. Readings start the third week of class, so be sure to have your books by that time.
You went through Donella Meadows's "Thinking in Systems,"
Anne West's "Mapping the Intelligence of Artistic Work," David Shields's "Reality Hunger," and Helen Armstrong's "Design Theory" last semester. This semester we will merely read in Audrey Bennet's "Design Studies" compendium. I will be picking pieces out of the book for you to read individually, depending on your interests and research.
Readings will start the second week of class, so make sure you have the book when I ask you for it to mark pages you should read. I got mine used and recommend that you do too. If you do not have a book by the second week of class, you will find yourself at Kinko's, copying pages from other people's books, taking time away from more fruitful pursuits, so do order it now.
The below is amazing, especially if you have your English/Dutch, Dutch/ English translator by your side.
good little grad gift for the type maven
