Whether you're a student, educator, practicing designer, manager, recruiter, mentor, or organizer, you'll learn to notice subconscious bias, interrogate your values, and actively create welcoming spaces for all. Inclusive Design Communities will empower you to build the design industry you want to see-the one we all deserve. THIS BOOK EXPLORES:Inclusivity practices within the design industry Strategies to address bias and disrupt exclusive systems How to transform design curricula and classroom environments Steps for developing equitable hiring and retention practices Creating thoughtful conferences and community meeting spaces
