Professional Information
Dr. Brenda Duggan is a design educator and researcher at Technological University Dublin, teaching visual communication design. Her PhD is in practice-based design with a current research focus on sustainment and ontological questions, examining transdisciplinary synergies for design – through ethnography, design anthropology, new materialism and semiotics. This is with the aim of questioning boundaries between human and more-than-human knowing and sensing, examining limitations of visible language design.
