Abstract

Introduction for the 2015 DATA Special Edition The majority of this paper first appeared as the ‘concluding reflections’ that Kay and I put together for the 2007 Springer book in which we documented the research undertaken in TERU since 1985 (Kimbell & Stables [2007] ch 15 Researching Design Learning. Springer). The paper is based on a personal overview of our thoughts about the ‘so-what’ of our research. Was it all worth it? How is the world changed? For whom is life better? There are two additions to that 2007 material – and they both appear at the end of the piece. In the first ‘The final curtain’, we outline our reasons for calling time on TERU; announcing its formal closure. In the second ‘…or maybe not’ we suggest a new direction for research at Goldsmiths – building on the wider network of design researchers here who are principally engaged with the Design programmes.
