Dr Lisa Thomas
Lecturer in DesignProfile
Lisa is a Lecturer in Design and Director of Studies for Undergraduate Design. Her research explores the detrimental impacts of eco-modern values on designing for sustainability and wellbeing more generally. She is especially interested in discovering how technologies can mediate and negatively shape human behaviours, perceptions and values particularly as they relate to ethical and environmental concerns. Accordingly, Lisa’s research has explored ways of designing that prioritise technological mediation and the transformative impact this can have on design outputs.
Lisa has supervised numerous PhDs that relate to sustainability, health, and wellbeing. She is interested in PhD proposals that seek to investigate the relationship of design to sustainability, health, and wellbeing especially those with a focus on technological mediation, human values and moving beyond eco-modern approaches to design.
