Design Social Change

A Stanford d.school guide to using your own identity and lived experience as design fuel for challenging the status quo toward equity and justice. It puts the SDF's Social-Responsibility motto into the hands of the individual designer, backed by the institution teaching it. The book helps readers discover design strategies for using their unique social identities and experiences as inspiration to challenge the status quo and work toward greater equity and social justice. Designer and educator Lesley-Ann Noel shares strategies for making a lasting impact, starting with knowing yourself and building outward into changing a community and the wider world, and gives tools for tailoring an approach to design based on personal history, ethics and goals for the future. It is published as part of the Stanford d.school Library series.
