On February 24th 2017, I was a panelist at VERGE NYC, a conference hosted by the Transdisciplinary Design MFA program at Parsons. I was invited to talk about the relationship between design, transdisciplinarity, and politics, with fellow alumni from the program now working at IDEO and Parsons itself.
Out of the 3 invited panelists, I decided to reflect on the skills and tools that design has (or lacks) when dealing with activism and social change causes. These musings come as a direct result of my work with the Office of Social Change Initiatives at ThoughtWorks, during the past 8 months.
