“…In addition, the interview responses are not considered to represent facts around design process; instead, the responses are more like stories or narratives, which is why the results of this work focus on the perceptions of the participants. As a result, the data are not abstracted through analysis because our goal is with “seeing the world from the perspective of our subjects” (Glassner & Loughlin, 1987, p. 37).…”

When developing a better understanding of the design process there are several possible approaches to choose from. Many studies are based on novice designers (e.g., students) or designers of relatively modest talents. By contrast, some studies have queried designers who are considered to have outstanding and exceptional ability in order to gain an understanding of design at the highest level that it is practiced. The study reported here adopts yet another approach by exploring how design processes are perceived by design educators. The approach is motivated by the observation that teaching design requires consciously distilling the essence of the design process for the students, observing students during their design process and guiding them through the process. As a result, design teachers tend to develop a more articulate view of design processes than most other designers. Nineteen design teachers are interviewed using general topics as discussion points. Such an approach is invaluable when exploring more abstract research questions such as the notion of design processes. This approach differs from more controlled approaches (e.g., protocol analysis) in that it accepts that the data obtained are partially driven by negotiation between the researchers and the participants, and that the discussions are largely stories or narratives about design and designing. The resulting data illustrate that design processes are interpreted, articulated, and understood in a variety of ways by different teachers. These data and subsequent results tell us in rich detail about designing and design teaching, and as a result extend our understanding of the design process.

“…Thematic analysis was conducted on the transcripts from the interviews. This analysis provided an effective tool for engaging with the authenticity of the interviewees’ experiences (Glassner and Loughlin, 1987; Silverman, 1993), as well as engaging with broader debate about the utility of the humanities in examining social processes (Banks and Banks, 1998; Krieger, 1991; Stanley, 1993).…”

Marriage equality in Australia: The ‘no’ vote and symbolic violence

Until December 2017, there were no legal provisions within the Commonwealth of Australia for same-sex couples to marry in the same sense that their heterosexual friends and family can. Civil unions provide similar legal protections as marriage, but many argue that this is not enough – that same-sex couples occupy a ‘second-class’ citizen status in relation to marriage. Many jurisdictions globally recognise marriage equality: the UK, New Zealand, Canada and the USA, to name but a few globally, and those societies most similar to Australia’s. This article explores the attitudes towards elements of marriage equality among a group of gay men in Australia. Despite the ‘yes’ vote for marriage equality polling about two-thirds of eligible voters, a slew of symbolically violent messages appeared, including ‘Vote No’ skywritten across the emblematic Sydney Harbour, and ‘Vote no to faggots’ graffiti etched across Sydney train carriages. The importance of love is key in defence against this symbolic violence.

“…The overall aim of the available epidemiological research in charting drug use and the dance scene has been to assess the prevalence of drug use and “risk factors for addiction, psychological problems which might be treated, or a general and dangerous propensity for antisocial behaviour” (Glassner & Loughlin, 1987, p. 3). More specifically the extant research has emphasized: the problems of using ecstasy and other club drugs; the extent of drug using behaviors connected with the scene; and the characteristics of the users.…”

“…First, and most importantly, it has omitted any investigation of young people’s perspective or understanding of their own behaviors (Glassner & Loughlin, 1987). “Concern with adolescent drug use.... are based on assumptions about the meaning of drugs for potential users whose perspectives are very different from that of adults” (Glassner & Loughlin, 1987, p. 1).…”

“…“Concern with adolescent drug use.... are based on assumptions about the meaning of drugs for potential users whose perspectives are very different from that of adults” (Glassner & Loughlin, 1987, p. 1). The agency of young people is ignored or underemphasized and consequently the vast majority of research has neglected to consider the role or meaning of drugs within the lives of young people and especially their role within young people’s leisure activities from the perspective of youth themselves.…”
