All I got to say about the PR issue is GO For it!!! It is important on so many fronts. I just don't think you can do it w/o a clearly messaged consensus of who we are.
The definition of a rose is embedded in the reality of its existence, so its "name" will never change its sweetness. The definition of love while more difficult has a ubiquitous ephemeral quality of "I know it, when I experience it" that requires no hard definition. IxD is neither of these. It is completely intangible and completely dependent on others. This makes for a VERY difficult thing to communicate in a way that many can understand. I'd still love to put some cycles on a contest idea I had awhile back that could be connected to the/a conference. I'd love to ask students and practitioners to "use interaction design to define interaction design". As David Cronin tweeted a couple of days ago, "Design is what design does." http://twitter.com/davcron/status/1368548073 So lets do just that. I know my students would already love to be engaged in it. -- dave . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
