Question
response to grazingpirate's post my college has no social design major.
grazingpirate, I don't understand your Title. Is it that you feel there needs to be more of an emphasis on social design in education? If so, what would the curriculum look like? It seems that EVERY major should integrate social design into their curriculum rather than focusing on the cultivation of specialized "social designers" through one program. Thoughts?

as opposed to fashion design
I agree! social design SHOULD be an aspect of every major. I feel that at my college however there is not a lot of emphasis on it. I meet a lot of fashion design and sports communication majors...and perhaps they are hoping to make society better with their fashion and sports, but i bet that many aren't...i just get discouraged when i ask people what their majors are and what they want to do after college because there seems to be more of an emphasis on "me" and less on "us" as in EVERYONE.
also concerning my title I feel that most students going into college are pressured into choosing something that fits into a major instead of thinking of what exactly they'd like to do in their life and THEN choosing a major or courses that will help them in achieving that goal.
To be honest before reading this, I had never even heard of the term "social design" and now I can give a name to this idea that pervades my beliefs and hopes for the world.
thanks for your thoughts and questions, i definitely needed to clarify. I hope that clears things up...if not, let's continue! :o)

I'm glad you feel so passionate about what social design is or isn't occurring around you. Transform away, grazingpirate!!!
