Design is a tool for imagining radical new possibilities for living together. We will discuss how we can work with community and school partners to leverage cultural and historical resources in design. This course will introduce students to models of design and tools for participatory design used across the Global North and South that can promote individual, social, and institutional change. It will include attention to political, affective, and ethical dimensions of design, as well as explore dilemmas presented by faculty and students engaged in ongoing design projects.
