Janet Abrams
Janet Abrams is Director of the Design Institute, the University of Minnesota's think tank on design futures. The DI focuses on (r)evolutions in design education and mapping as a strategy for understanding the social and spatial implications of emerging technologies. A hybrid between a production company and an academic research unit, the DI has produced many experimental design prototypes through its Fellows programme. A widely published critic, Janet was U.S. correspondent for Blueprint in the 1980s, writer-at-large for I.D. Magazine in the 1990s and editor of IF/THEN: PLAY at the Netherlands Design Institute in 1998, before joining UMN in 2000. Most recently, she co-edited the award-winning book ELSE/WHERE: MAPPING - New Cartographies of Networks and Territories (DI, 2006). With a Ph.D. in architectural history from Princeton University, Jan counterbalances her more cerebral pursuits through adventure travel and a rediscovered passion for making by hand, specifically ceramics.
