New Technologies, Old Professors: Notes on Labor Ageing in Design Programs
Abstrak
This paper discusses why higher education professors are not retiring in due time and how economic programmes play a role in such a decision. We discuss public policies of higher education institutions to understand 1) why labour ageing occurs and 2) the challenges faced by professors and institutions. Our discussion focuses on showing how a series of policies and organisation-led rules can condition practices, thus contributing to labour ageing, by discussing the case of a country: Mexico. Due to public and university policies, labour ageing presents a challenge for university education. In that case, these policies must be accompanied by training processes for the lifelong productivity of professors. This paper shows the need to reevaluate practices to constantly address labour ageing in design academia, so that it might evolve and remain up-to-date with emerging trends and technologies.
