Stephen Kuusisto,<https://soe.syr.edu/about/directory/stephen-kuusisto/> University Professor; Director of Interdisciplinary Programs and Outreach, Burton Blatt Institute

In their groundbreaking book Design Justice* Sasha Costanza-Chock sets forth the essential principles of community driven design reflecting "nothing about us without us"--in effect calling into question the future of technologies and architectures. Design Justice focuses on the ways that race, class, gender, and disability structure both information asymmetries and variance in user product needs.” This presentation will focus on how contemporary disability cultures are addressing asymmetries and variance in built environments whether digital or physical.

*Design Justice: Community-Led Practices to Build the Worlds We Need<https://direct.mit.edu/books/book/4605/Design-JusticeCommunity-Led-Practices-to-Build-the>  Sasha Costanza-Chock

An exploration of how design might be led by marginalized communities, dismantle structural inequality, and advance collective liberation and ecological survival.  Design Justice goes beyond recent calls for design for good, user-centered design, and employment diversity in the technology and design professions; it connects design to larger struggles for collective liberation and ecological survival.

The open access edition<https://direct.mit.edu/books/book/4605/Design-JusticeCommunity-Led-Practices-to-Build-the> of this book was made possible by generous funding from Knowledge Unlatched and the MIT Press Frank Urbanowski Memorial Fund.
