An initiative of the Malmö Design Network. Our mission is to share knowledge and ultimately place Malmö on the global design map. Hosts Russell Morgan and Dennis Overhage speak with Malmö Designers about a variety of topics.
In this episode, Russell and Dennis talk to Hildreth England, a T-shaped Social Design Researcher from Texas, about non-neutrality in design, the future role of the designer, and place-based belonging.
Show notes:
On non-neutrality:
1 - Melvin Kranzberg’s Six Laws of Trchnology, via the always excellent LM Sacasas: https://thefrailestthing.com/2011/08/25/kranzbergs-six-laws-of-technology-a-metaphor-and-a-story/
2 - Donna Haraway’s quote comes from A Cyborg Manifesto: Science, Technology, and Socialist-Feminism in the Late Twentieth Century," in Simians, Cyborgs and Women : The Reinvention of Nature (1991), pp.149-181.
To dig into designer positionality, recommend this paper/tools by Noel & Pavia: https://uxpajournal.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/pdf/JUS_Noel_Feb2021.pdf
