9. Hire more BIPOC faculty and staff

@georgeaye: Pre-contract is when designers have the most power. This is where you can bring up issues like race and white supremacy to preempt value conflicts later in the project

Dear #UX Community, tomorrow is Monday. From your tentative tweeting, it seems like many of you have finally discovered that anti-Black racism is alive and well in America. Don't know what to do? Want to move beyond the hashtag activism? A thread

1. Call out your asshole friends @js_tut: Dark Mode does matter
2. Don't know any assholes? Doubt it in this industry but if not call out your "all lives matter" friends. Call out your "apolitical" friends. "Neutrality" is racism. Silence is racism. Start the conversation on and offline.
3. Don't know how to articulate what you're currently feeling? Read, absorb, and share the work of others:

Columbia & UMich recently halted human subjects research b/c of public health concerns. But what are the ethical implications for #userresearch practitioners currently in the field?

(1) If you're in a highly impacted area, is it ethical for you to leave to a less impacted area?
(2) How should you handle projects centered around participatory observations?

If field respondents are expected to keep working during a crisis (e.g., service workers, healthcare providers), is it ethical for researchers to quit their participatory role and leave the fieldsite?
(3) How should you manage broken community access agreements?

If researchers make agreements with community members in exchange for fieldsite access (e.g., volunteering X hours), is it ethical to renege on that agreement and pull out before completing that service?

Having been late to Design Twitter's latest implosion over #design #ethics, I have several questions about how our community defines (un)ethical design. A (potentially unnecessary) thread... (1)

For context, see @round's per-usual excellent RT roundup 👇🏼
@round (2) Are certain organizations or institutions (e.g., Facebook, ICE, the military) inherently unethical and therefore any design work produced for them is unethical?
@round (3) If not all design work for such organizations is unethical, what are the characteristics we can use to define the boundaries of ethical vs. unethical design projects?
