We are delighted to announce that the inaugural DHS Student Publication Threads, Traces, and Artefacts: Revisiting Global Design History is now available online. This annual student volume is based on papers presented at the Annual Student Online Conference. This publication is double peer reviewed.
The 2026 volume brings together selected papers from the Design History Society's 2025 international student conference. Written by emerging scholars working across diverse geographical and cultural contexts, this peer-reviewed collection examines how designed objects, practices and narratives travel, intersect and acquire new meanings across borders. Its chapters trace connections between people, materials, places and histories, bringing overlooked perspectives into dialogue with established accounts of design.
Papers authored by Pallavi Chattoraj, Choi Horang, Valentina Nitti, Ricardo H. A. Makino, Wing Tak (Vivian) Pang, Alice Ji-Won Kim, Maria Paula Armenta Garzón, Aishwarya Jamkhedkar, Peter Grace & Yiran Li, Ludovica Polo, Monica Pastore, Elsa Westreicher.
With a preface by Sally-Anne Huxtable. Edited by Dan Mu, Deepika Srivastava and Elli Young, designed by Katherine Easthill, 2026.
This volume is Open Access and can be downloaded here: https://www.designhistorysociety.org/publications/student-publication
