    Generative AI in supporting interdisciplinary & participatory design education: Applications and Implications

    Rodríguez Gil, María Esther
    The dynamic development of generative arti;cial intelligence (Gen-AI), especially large language models (LLMs), introduces new opportunities and challenges for design education. This paper explores the potential role of Gen-AI as a simulation-based tool that supports interdisciplinary and participatory learning environments. In particular, it focuses on how Gen-AI can facilitate the development of co-design competencies by simulating stakeholder interactions, enabling students to engage in context-rich, multi-perspective design processes. Through a critical review of the literature and a speculative pedagogical framework, the study outlines a conceptual model for integrating Gen-AI into design curricula. It identi;es three dimensions of design education- tools and technologies, socio-cultural context, and methodological reasoning and examines the ways in which Gen-AI may enhance or challenge each of them. While acknowledging the cognitive, ethical, and institutional limitations of AI-assisted learning, the paper argues that generative tools, if methodically implemented, may expand access to complex design scenarios and support the formation of re2ective, adaptive, and socially aware designers.

    Poland’s opposition politics: resisting the populist swing

    O’Malley, Eoin
    Cavatorta, Francesco
    Baturo, Alexander
    This chapter investigates the role of the parliamentary opposition in Poland, with a particular focus on the rise of populism following the Law and Justice Party's (PiS) ascension to power in 2015. First, we examine the changing strategies adopted by opposition parties in a political climate increasingly deviating from democratic norms and values, especially regarding judicial independence, the rule of law, and political pluralism. Further, interpreting the concept of political opposition very broadly beyond political parties with parliamentary representation (Richardson, 2000, see also Baturo, O’Malley and Cavatorta in this volume), we analyse the impact of extraparliamentary parties, the informal opposition from civil society, independent judiciary and media, and the rule of law safeguards implemented by the European Union. In this manner, we showcase why Poland, despite eight years of the government's anti-democratic actions, has managed to retain the last bulwarks of democratic resilience, including a partially independent judiciary and regulatory public institutions, free media, and strong opposition, and, finally, to remove the populist party from power in the breakthrough 2023 parliamentary elections.

    Legal Design. Teksty wybrane 2

    Publikacja zawiera osiem pragmatycznie zorientowanych artykułów, w których autorki i autorzy – reprezentujący świat nauki i praktyki – naświetlają temat z różnych perspektyw, dzieląc się swoimi przemyśleniami, dobrymi praktykami oraz efektami zrealizowanych projektów. Barwne spektrum zebranych tekstów doskonale wpisuje się w koncepcję serii, która ma pokazywać i uświadamiać, że legal design nie kończy się na „designie umów” czy innych dokumentów prawnych, lecz rozwija się wielowymiarowo i funkcjonuje na wielu poziomach praktyki. Tom obejmuje również sprawozdanie z cyklicznego, ogólnopolskiego wydarzenia Legal Design Forum 4.0 oraz z towarzyszącej mu wystawy Zmiana przez Design: Legal Design – Konstytucja, która angażuje. Obie inicjatywy – forum jako przestrzeń dla spotkań i publikacja jako przestrzeń dla tekstów – w całości poświęcone są zagadnieniom projektowania (dla) prawa. W zamierzeniu inicjatorów mają sprzyjać kształtowaniu się interdyscyplinarnego środowiska, które, eksperymentując i prowadząc badania, rozwija sposoby przenoszenia zasad społecznie wrażliwego projektowania do obszarów funkcjonowania prawa.

    The benefits — and costs — of behavioral mimicry: applications in marketing, sales, and therapy

    Chartrand, Tanya
    Genschow, Oliver
    Cracco, Emiel
    Previous research on the so-called Chameleon effect and other studies on more general mimicry indicate that mimicking another person’s gestures, mannerisms, and speech (whether intentionally or not) leads to several profound social consequences without awareness that mimicry took place (Chartrand and Bargh, J Personality Soc Psychol 76:893–910, 1999). This chapter reviews research on mimicry as a nonconsciously employed mechanism by focusing on the consequences of mimicry. Thereby, we will review positive as well as negative consequences that take place within and beyond the mimicry dyad.
