Data and Society Podcast: Design Justice episode

Data & Society’s “Databites” speaker series presents timely conversations about the purpose and power of technology, bridging our interdisciplinary research with broader public conversations about the societal implications of data and automation. In this episode, Sasha Costanza-Chock discusses her new book Design Justice: Community-Led Practices to Build the Worlds We Need, which re-imagines how design led by marginalized communities can become a tool to help dismantle structural inequality, advance collective liberation, and support ecological survival.

In this conversation with Data & Society’s Events Producer Rigoberto Lara Guzmán, Sasha shares her experience as a design researcher and a practitioner, highlights helpful Design Justice Network best practices, and explores how we might apply the principles of design justice to COVID-19 responses. Data & Society is part of the Design Justice Network [link https://alliedmedia.org/projects/design-justice-project], an Allied Media Projects Sponsored Project.
