Foundations of EDI in Design
This itinerary introduces the foundational concepts and principles of Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) in design. It explores approaches such as Universal Design, Design for All, and Human-Centered Design, while examining how structural inequalities are materialised through design practices and how ethical responsibility can contribute to more inclusive outcomes. The resources address intersectionality, human factors and ergonomics, emotional design, and the role of designers in developing inclusive projects. They also critically examine common myths and misconceptions about inclusive design, providing a theoretical and practical foundation for understanding how design can challenge exclusion and promote equality, diversity, and inclusion.
