Lucy is currently co-investigator on two UKRI funded projects which are cross-disciplinary and co-produced with non-academic partners. With Guy Julier, she was co-investigator on two AHRC projects exploring social design.

Abstract
To what extent can designers contribute to how public futures anticipated? How does expertise in design connect with, problematise or invigorate other forms of practice inside government? What hopes and concerns should we have for the growing visibility of design expertise within government? In this teaching and learning workshop, Lucy will share perspectives and insights from researching and practice. This includes working with public servants in two policy labs in the UK and in the EU. She will also draw on current cross-disciplinary research projects – one aiming to develop regulatory strategies to address the issue of anti-microbial resistance in India, and another exploring the potential and take up of AI in professional services firms. Given the ongoing unfolding crises associated with the climate emergency and Covid-19, to what extent do capacities associated with design enable anticipating future ways of living, being, caring and working?
