De s i g n C o n t ex t NERDOLOGY:
Defini ti on
Nerdology; the word that defines a subculture that started with the resurgence of 'geek chic'. Being a nerd is an individual who engages with educational mediums with excitement, be it on a particular academic subject, or finding out who really shot first: Han or Greedo. Nerds are shelved as isolated, socially inept beings who only go outside the house to buy the latest edition of New Scientist or to buy more xbox points, but in recent years the term is coined when a 'norm' observes said nerd engaging with an activity that is extra curricular or not attuned to their own social activities/ engagements.
