Abstract

This paper is centred on the progressive curriculum and sustained positive impact of the Rabbit Hole" the University of Western Sydney's Bachelor of Design teaching studio. The award-winning Rabbit Hole is a unique learning environment, incorporating participatory design methods and a work integrated learning framework that facilitates situated learning experiences, where live projects with real-world outcomes bridge the gap between academia, community and industry. Through a series of case studies, this paper demonstrates how the Rabbit Hole utilises the transformative agency of its innovative design pedagogy to inspire and empower socially responsible emergent designers.
