College Art Association panel

Having chaired a panel on Design Writing at the annual CAA conference, I've grown more and more interested in design curricula and how writing, communications, and design studies actually relate to one another.  Above all, the conference highlighted some serious gaps in design studies education in the United States.  This needs to be more carefully scrutinized; if design studies continues to grow as an academic discipline, it's essential that the strengths of a liberal education be brought to the table.
