Dr Danica Karaičić is a design educator and practitioner at Monash University with a background in architecture and fashion design. Her research and creative interests span from art, design, architecture and fashion to performance, with a focus on the relationships between the body, its immediate surroundings and built environments, space making, body in movement and atmosphere. She is also interested in the themes of home, belonging and displacement. The themes of the relationality of the body and space and a sense of self in the world are integral parts of Danica’s teaching. Her pedagogical practice emphasises 4C thinking—creative, conceptual, critical, and constructive, and student mental health.
