If we ever needed evidence of how Western design has been aligned with agendas of oppression, waste, excess and elitism, just look at Design Schools focused on luxury and design. Connected to galleries and glossy magazines, disconnected from the people, context, everyday life, futures, justice

"the one sin I have come to fear more than any other is certainty. #Certainty is the great enemy of unity. Certainty is the deadly enemy of tolerance... If there was only certainty, and if there was no doubt, there would be no mystery, and therefore no need for faith." R. Harris, Conclave

Tenemos que cambiar la #educación en #diseño porque parte de los diseñadores se quedarán sin trabajo en el futuro. Hay que enseñar la capacidad de imaginar y representar. Y sobre todo pensamiento crítico. #MauricioNovoaMuñoz @disenoydiaspora.bsky.social

A history of failures at Philips. Worth remembering how these companies were portrayed as paradigms of design only a couple of decades ago. Good lessons here to challenge the narratives in design education

People in context always do know better than designers. Two examples of the Designer Fallacy. If only we taught design students to trust people, we would avoid the trope that users need to be "educated" by the experts

Design methods books are painfully limited as a teaching resource, reducing rich and complex practices where people develop sensibilities to caricature procedures that learners follow mechanically. Peak standardisation in education

The quantity and quality of design in everyday life in Mexico is as surprising as how design schools ignore it and instead teach European material culture in the curriculum
