Audit of @MIT courses finds few courses address #designjustice. Design justice is covered more commonly in humanities courses. Thanks to authors and #designjusticesummit conveners, @monicarima2, @anastadiaostrow, @repeatedroots media.mit.edu/publications/a…

Design is separated from questions of #designjustice in @MIT curriculum. #designjusticesummit conveners, @monicarima2, @anastadiaostrow, @repeatedroots suspect the situation @MIT is true at many higher ed institutions. Let’s gather the data. media.mit.edu/publications/a…
