Philip Hector is a design researcher working with social-ecological and digital transformation processes. Trained in Industrial Design (B.A.), Creative Sustainability (M.A.), and Design Research (Ph.D.), he is interested in the negotiation processes between public organisations and civil society. His focus is on the creative work of experts and amateurs that turn ideas into tools, processes and places for a sustainable and just world. Next to research and project management, he works on Politics for Tomorrow’s learning routines and project portfolio development.-I enjoy the intersection of Design, Sustainability Social Sciences and Science & Technology Studies. Within my attempts at practising and theorising design that supports life, my main foci are public-civic collaborations, rewilding, sustainable/ social architecture and repair cultures/ sufficiency/ DIY. Across these I am interested in the role of organisational learning and legal regulations—including how values and worldviews are coded in these—and how we can adapt them or work-around them. I am therefore very interested in what constitutes forms of design in our everyday lifes and equally what disillusions we have about design's supposed abilities.I work on a 80% contract to be able to follow these interests appropriately so do reach out in case we have shared interests!
