Welcome to the Making conference in Norway 2012

The Making, Materiality and Knowledge conference aims to provide an arena for discussions on field-specific, inter- and transdisciplinary knowledge production within Making Disciplines/Making Professions/Making Education.

The Peer-Review process is now finished. Authors will receive answers as soon as possible.

The active and creative aspect of the word Making is the centre focus, and the first key-concept of the conference. The making of something in something, a material, renders a focus on the physical and material aspects of making. Materiality is as such the second key-concept of the conference. The third key-concept of the conference, knowledge, emphasizes the need of understanding the making process as both a knowledge based and a knowledge generating process. 

The conference is organized by the Nordic research network, NordFo
