This list is amazing.
There may be no better place to send ideas to be assaulted and die. And one wonder’s why there are not more participants that the usual few. Or why we need something such as Decolonising Design.
Rather than pausing to listen and reflect upon a bold critique by a group of scholars who are proposing a way forward that could make the field more attuned to important issues of equity and justice, the response of the list is to explain back how their assertions are flawed.
Design scholarship continues to be it’s own best enemy.
