As design has gone through change, growth, and expansion of meaning and interpretation in practice and education, so has design research. The traditional boundaries of design are dissolving, and connections are being established with other fields at an exponential rate. Based on the proceedings from the 2017 International Association of Societies of Design Research conference, the Re:Research series is an edited collection that showcases a curated selection of eighty-three papers—just over half of the works presented at the conference. With topics ranging from the introduction of design in the primary education sector to designing information for artificial intelligence systems, this collection showcases diverse perspectives in design and design research. Divided into seven thematic volumes, the Re:Research series maps out where the field of design research is now.

The Re:Research collection includes:
Volume 1: Teaching and Learning Design
Volume 2: Philosophical Frameworks and Design Processes
Volume 3: Design and the Creation of Social Value
Volume 4: Design and Living Well
Volume 5: Design Discourse on Culture and Society
Volume 6: Design Discourse on Business and Industry
Volume 7: Design and Digital Interaction
