Design as Agent of Change, Natacha Poggio @ IIT Delhi, IndiaDesign Global Change
Assistant Professor Natacha Poggio (University of Hartford) presents her socially responsible multidisciplinary projects on "Design as Agent of Social Change," at the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, India on January 16, 2009.
Natacha Poggio (Assistant Professor of Visual Communication Design, Hartford Art School) gave a talk at the first TEDx organized in Hartford, Connecticut: TEDx Bushnell Park, on June 22, 2013. #TEDxBushnellPark celebrated the work being done in greater Hartford to improve communities and civic spaces in both large and small ways. Natacha Poggio's presentation “Helping Communities Thrive” described the collaborative and multidisciplinary nature of the projects she has developed along with her Design Global Change students —such as a nonviolence mural on Albany Ave in downtown Hartford, and also expanded on the projects developed in India with Engineers Without Borders students from the College of Engineering, Technology and Architecture (CETA) at the University of Hartford.

A Dynamic Delphi Process Utilizing a Modified Thurstone Scaling Method: Colla...Connie White
In an extreme event or major disaster, very often there are both alternative actions that might be considered and far more requests for actions than can be executed immediately. The relative desirability of each option for action could be a collaborative expression of a significant number of emergency managers and experts trying to manage the most desirable alternatives at any given time, in real time. Delphi characteristics can satisfy these needs given that anyone can vote or change their vote on any two options, and voting and scaling are used to promote a group understanding. Further utilized with Thurstone’s Law of Comparative Judgment, a group decision or the range of acceptability a group is willing to consent to, can be calculated and utilized as a means of producing the best decision. A ubiquitous system for expeditious real-time decision making by large virtual teams in emergency
response environments is described.
