Learner Centered Design Education

About Learner Centered Design Education

What if teaching isn’t about delivering knowledge, but about co-creating meaning? In Learner Centered Design Education, Soumitri Varadarajan reflects on 35 years of teaching industrial design. These episodes are not lessons—they are provocations and quiet acts of unlearning. Influenced by Paulo Freire—whose work Soumitri encountered at 25—this podcast invites educators to rethink authority, embrace uncertainty, and imagine classrooms as shared worlds of discovery.
