Radical Participatory Design: Insights From NASA’s Service Design Lead
Have you ever been a part of a participatory design process or used of a participatory method only to find that it fell short of any real shift in power dynamics? Have you ever compared notes with another participatory designer only to find out their definition of participatory design is different than your own? Have you faced opposition from your organization in practicing design in a more participatory way?
Join us, add to the conversation, and see what Victor Udoewa, NASA’s Service Design Lead, has to say about such experiences, the different definitions of participatory design and how participatory design can actually be used to reinforce hierarchies. One way he has found to dismantle that system is to practice Radical Participatory Design (RPD).
You’ll learn:
- What participatory design is.
- How definitions of participatory design vary.
- What RPD is and how to start practicing it.
- How to assert your power as a designer.
This Master Class is for anyone involved or interested in participatory design and how to make the process more effective and efficient.
