Liv Merete Nielsen has worked hard and passionately to build a strong research field and excellence in design education from kindergarten to doctoral level. In this article we analyse 64 'LMN has the word', Professor Nielsen's regular column in the educational journal FORM in the period 2010–2022. Through a rhetorical analysis, we identify her fights and ambitions on behalf of the Norwegian school subject Art and crafts. Nielsen’s critique of the former school subject Forming as centred on self-expression and hostile to knowledge is clearly stated and to set a new direction becomes both a political and an academic project. A Swedish book from the 1970s is a foundation in Nielsen's work as she turns the school subject Arts and crafts into a knowlegde-based subject with social relevance. Three topoi are activated in Nielsen's regular column when she explains the contributions of the school subject to society 1) Visual competence for participation, 2) Create and demand sustainable solutions and 3) Craft competence as a basis for vocational education and everyday life.
