Other Ways of Worlding: Interrogations of Design Education, Theory, and Practice

## Description (150 words)
Drawing on the transnational discourses that situate design in relation to different forms of systemic inequalities – such as racism, sexism, classism, ableism and others – this panel proposes to dissuss "the other ways of worlding" within design education, theory and practice.

We will discuss feminist design pedagogies, futures and modes of hacking and fluid worldview, and explore how they can contribute toward socially transformative practices. 

Fostering a horizontal exchange, we will open up the panel for a discussion with everyone participating in the session.

When design is oriented to the common good, mainstream corporate and patriarchal practices are inadequate. Different models and approaches are needed to support stakeholders and participation in designing worlds where everyone fits. In this panel, the authors will discuss approaches building on theories of feminism, plurality, and others. Principles, heuristics, and cases will be the provocations for further debate.

Design as space *for* speculation: for re-thinking and dialogue on new (or notorious) worlds, and design *as* speculation, which can create other potential meanings and impacts towards what is being produced in it.

Alternative ways of knowing and doing are proposed that reject patriarchal norms and center the needs of the most vulnerable.
