| Description | This course focuses on the ways in which design
developed in Canada throughout history, taking
European contact and colonialisms into account. It
will address Indigenous materials and creations
that designers have learned from, appropriated,
and entangled, and examine the late 19th and early
20th-century conflation of designing and consuming
with Canadian citizenship. Eras such as the Good
Design movement and Canadian
modernism/nationalism, Canada's history with DIY
and repair, and
anonymous/unacknowledged works will be examined
within their social, cultural, political,
technological, and economic contexts. |
