Visualizing Health | Photography & Sociology with Kylie Wright

A sociology class about health and disease probably doesn't sound like the obvious setting for an exhibition of experimental photography. But over the course of a term at Drexel, students started translating medical systems, chronic illness, disability, anxiety, care, and survival into images.In this episode of Iterations, we hear about the development of visual literacy - a lifelong practice - and its application in fields as disparate as fine art, health care, and sociology. My guest is Kylie Wright, master printer, photographer, and professor at Drexel University. Music from Epidemic Sound

The Retrofit Lady | Creative Placemaking & Evidence-Based Design with D.S. Nicholas

In this episode of Drexel’s “Iterations,” we explore housing, creative placemaking, and design with architect and social scientist D.S. Nicholas, founding director of Drexel’s master’s program in Design. Dee describes how her practice has shifted toward health-supportive, human-centered design, culminating in a collaboration called Second Story Collective. Originating in Drexel's Writer's Room, Second Story Collective is an intergenerational housing and arts-based model that helps older adults age in place by pairing them with students, providing mutual support and home retrofits to enhance quality of life - while also addressing gentrification and displacement. We also discuss iterative, community-engaged evaluation, biophilia, and climate preparedness as contributors to human-centered design innovation.Music/sound FX from EpidemicSound
