Bio
Kristina Niedderer (Ph.D. MA [RCA]) is Professor of Design at Manchester Metropolitan University, UK. he is recognised internationally for her work on using design to engender mindful interaction and behaviour change within health and sustainability. She is also known for her work in design research methodology and for building the field of craft research. Kristina was originally apprenticed and worked as a goldsmith and silversmith in Germany. She then trained as a designer and design researcher in the UK, with an MA (RCA) and a PhD in Design (2004) in which she used her craft practice's concerns with drinking vessels and social interaction to develop the idea of mindful design. Her research interests and supervision expertise range across:
- mindful design and behaviour change;
- conceptual issues in craft and design practice;
- models of research and research methodology in craft and design;
- the nature and role of knowledge in research;
- doctoral training.
Kristina's founding work on mindful design and social behaviour change has received prominent recognition through invitation by Harvard Professor Ellen Langer to contribute to The Wiley Blackwell Handbook of Mindfulness (Niedderer 2014) and through publication in Design Issues (Niedderer 2007) as well as the Design for Behaviour Change Reader (Niedderer, Clune and Ludde, 2017).
Kristina has lead the European MSCA project (2020-2022) I Do Service: Facilitating Inclusion and Empowerment of People Living with Dementia through Access to Cultural and Creative Activities. The IDoService was co-developed with people with early-stage dementia to support them in planning and taking part in activities they enjoy and that enable them to contribute to their communities. From 2016-2020, Kristina led the European RISE project MinD - Designing for people with dementia: designing for mindful self-empowerment and social engagement.The MinD project aimed to help people with dementia engage in social contexts to improve psychosocial wellbeing. Utilising the concept of mindful design, the project investigated innovative design solutions to enable self-empowerment and confidence building of people living with dementia. The outcomes and benefits of the project included: new uses of design for enabling people with dementia to engage socially and improve subjective wellbeing; a robust mindfulness-vased co-design framework for the development and evaluation of the designs; policy recommendations for the inclusion of design within dementia care. The project brought together 17 partners from healthcare and policy, design and ICT from 8 countries, including the UK, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Spain, Australia and Russia.
In 2014, Kristina was principal investigator for the AHRC funded project Creating Sustainable Innovation through Design for Behaviour Change , which brought together a team from leading design departments in the UK and the Netherlands, including Warwick University, Loughborough University, the Royal College of Art, Lancaster University, TU Twente and TU Delft. The project investigated how academic research into behaviour change can be accessed and utilised best by SME's in order to help bridge the gap between academia and industry.
In 2010, Kristina founded the journal 'Craft Research' (Intellect Publishers), dedicated to developing and advancing contemporary craft practice and theory through research. In 2005, she conducted the 'Argentium Project' at Middlesex University, funded by the Arts Council England, which investigated technical and creative opportunities of Argentium. In 2008, Kristina received funding from the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) to extend her work on the Argentium Project with research into the use of Argentium and laser welding to create elastic movement as a medium for expressing emotion in silver design. Her work is shown regularly at museums, galleries and trade fairs in England and Germany among others.
Also from 2005, in her position as Research Fellow at the University of Hertfordshire (2005-7), Kristina led the Experiential Knowledge Project. In 2007, Kristina founded the first DRS Special Interest Group on Experiential Knowledge (EKSIG). A Council Member of the DRS and Secretary for Special Interest Groups (2007-2019), Niedderer was pivotal in establishing the DRS SIGs, which promote international exchange and collaboration in areas of design research.
Kristina has participated in the development of the field through contribution to international debates and as a keynote speaker and invited speaker at various European universities. She has extensive experience of peer review and of research quality through her work as an editor, chair and reviewer for conferences, journals and funding applications, and as a PhD supervisor and external examiner. Kristina is an expert reviewer for the AHRC, ESRC, NERC, the European Commission and the WHO GDO.
