Dear All,
As this thread evolved, I had the nagging feeling that we’ve been here before. There was an earlier conversation at the end of 2015 on the issue of exploring social justice that addresses many of the issues on decolonizing design. You will find it in the list archives with many of the same people who have been speaking in the last few days.
A web search also revealed an article by Matthew Kiem on the Medium web site titled “With friends like these who needs the PhDDesign List?” The article is located at:
https://medium.com/extra-extra/with-friends-like-these-who-needs-the-phd-design-list-6e1bc158e23b#.nzzdub8dz
It’s an interesting piece, even though I don’t come out very well … Mr. Kiem seems to place me among the Dead White European Males, but not among the worst. As a milder sinner than the others, I am probably destined for what Jonathan Edwards — a Puritan theologian and one-time president of Princeton — might have described as the softest seat in hell.
Apart from Mr. Kiem’s harsh judgement on a poor sinner, it is an interesting article.
Yours,
Ken
