Larsen to Sponsor "Design Intersections," First in a Series

DISRUPTIVE EFFECTS: How Design Is Changing Your World (and how to profit from it) is the first in a series of themed, interactive dialogs among designers and representatives from other disciplines discussing the consequences of design-induced change. Hosted by the University of Minnesota College of Design and sponsored by Larsen, the first dialog features three presenters—Jane McGonigal, futurist/game designer; Tom Erickson, interaction designer; and Nora Paul, media researcher; moderator is Tom Fisher, dean, College of Design. Participants will play McGonigal's alternate-reality game World Without Oil and discover how design can impact global issues.

Symposium Date: March 18, noon-5:30 p.m. plus reception

Location: University of Minnesota - 3M Auditorium, Carlson School of Management
