Discernment is a practice that allows us to view and evaluate our design work through a spectrum of oppression and liberation.
If you're a designer vying to design for more positive outcomes — such as equity, inclusion and liberation — but getting lost in how to actually do it, discernment will be a powerful first step for you.
It'll help you better detect bias, harm and other patterns of oppression in your work — as well as identify what's leading to positive outcomes (so you can keep doing it!).
What to Expect
In this short workshop, you will:
- Understand the importance of discernment in design and what it looks like in practice
- Practice discernment in design across the spectrum of oppression and liberation through collective exercises
- Discover how to deepen your discernment practice with the support of Design Changemakers
