Design Justice by Sasha Costanza-Chock: MIT Press Author Talk

AIGA Boston is partnering with MIT Press to bring you an online talk by MIT Civic Media professor Sasha Costanza-Chock about their new book, Design Justice: Community-Led Practices to Build the Worlds We Need.

What is the relationship between design, power, and social justice? “Design justice” is an approach to design that is led by marginalized communities and that aims explicitly to challenge, rather than reproduce, structural inequalities. It has emerged from a growing community of designers in various fields who work closely with social movements and community-based organizations around the world.
