If, as if, then: the implications of framing econosociolegal questions as design problems
Mission for the moment from Amanda Perry-Kessaris on Vimeo. My mission for the moment is to approach econosociolegal questions using graphic design processes (thinking-doing) and products (artefacts-experiences). Frame Innovation: create new thinking by design by Professor of Design Innovation Kees Dorst prompted me to consider this as a 'framing' mission. A frame is a metaphor, a way of… Continue reading If, as if, then: the implications of framing econosociolegal questions as design problems
Sociolegal model-making 4: Discussion
Sociolegal model making 4: Discussion from Amanda Perry-Kessaris on Vimeo. This is the fourth in a series of eight experiments investigating how modelling can be used in econosociolegal research processes. 'Law and governance are intimately entangled with time.'

Object-based econosociolegal brainstorming
Room 72 at The British Museum I used a visit to Room 72: Ancient Cyprus at the British Museum to experiment with a spot of object-based econosociolegal brainstorming. My aim was to use the objects as prompts for rapid reflections on the econosociolegal past, present and future of Cyprus, particularly in the context of the current… Continue reading Object-based econosociolegal brainstorming
Categorising visual materials
This experiment follows on from an attempt to visualise sociolegal concepts using found images. Both experiments are part of my research (funded by the Socio-legal Studies Association) into the use of graphic design by civil society actors in relation to econolegal aspects of the current talks between Turkish Cypriots and Greek Cypriots regarding possible reunification of the island. My… Continue reading Categorising visual materials
Sociolegal model making 1: Decision
https://vimeo.com/174647035 This is the first in a series of eight experiments investigating how modelling can be used in econosociolegal research processes. Drop in session Kent Law School (KLS) acquired a LEGO set in 2016. The purchase was provoked by my attendance at a LEGO-based workshop on 'Exploring stuckness' run by Graham Barton who is part of the… Continue reading Sociolegal model making 1: Decision
Externalise, materialise, confront: on the making of sociolegal worry beads Part 2
A field trip to Cyprus got me thinking about worry beads. I began wondering how they might be used by Cypriots to think about their emotions and worries associated with the past, present and future of Cyprus reunification talks. But realised that I ought to begin with what I know best: the worries of sociolegal… Continue reading Externalise, materialise, confront: on the making of sociolegal worry beads Part 2
Visualising sociolegal concepts using found images
This experiment was part of my research (supported by a Socio Legal Studies Association small grant) into the use of design-based methods by civil society actors in relation to econolegal aspects of the proposed reunification of Cyprus. The aim was to try to generate visual representations for some of the key concepts that I came across during my… Continue reading Visualising sociolegal concepts using found images
