Karl-Johan Skogh serves as a Senior Lecturer and Head of Department at The Unit for Design and Crafts, University of Gothenburg, located at the Steneby campus in Dals Långed. His work bridges academic design research with practical craft applications in the Swedish context.
Skogh's research interests center on sustainable design practices, material innovation (particularly with algae-based materials), and the creation of boundary objects that facilitate interaction between academic research and public domains. His work explores how design can serve as a mediator between specialized knowledge and everyday practices, making research more accessible and applicable to broader audiences.
His recent publications demonstrate consistent activity in the field, with work spanning from 2017 to 2022. The progression of his research shows increasing focus on public engagement aspects of design research, culminating in his 2022 work on boundary objects at the public-research interface.
As Head of Department, Skogh oversees academic and administrative functions at The Unit for Design and Crafts, suggesting leadership responsibilities in curriculum development, faculty management, and strategic direction for design education at the Steneby campus.
