Abstract

This paper prompts an introductory overview regarding the historical paths and the theoretical-practical properties of social design in the realm of design education in Brazil. Initially, the precedents towards socially oriented design in Latin America are summarised. Subsequently, two master’s theses, a book, and a round table are analysed as an assemblage of pedagogical experiences in the approach of social design. Hence, this microhistorical examination on design exchanges, such as events and documents, is grounded on the scopes of social history and history of education. As in the framework of a concluded doctoral thesis, social design is envisaged as a topic of inquiry within design history studies and focused on the academic tripod of ‘teaching – research – extension’ in the Brazilian scenario.
