Earlier this month, @SVADSI invited me for a guest lecture. The video is up on their website so I thought I could share some of what it covered: dsi.sva.edu/lecturer/sarah…

I went through four of the key critiques of design, and offered four resources for further study for each one. The first critique evolves around the fact that design and design research can be triggering and traumatizing.

This article, “Practicing Without a License: Design Research as Psychotherapy” (h/t @albanvillamil) is an important one to read in my opinion: dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/33…

Okay, I've seen a number of people on social media share this #8cantwait campaign. I wanted to put my thoughts (and those of others) together to explain why this campaign is a bad idea.

I want to first start by addressing each of the 8 policies.

(Bear with me, thread follows) 1. Ban chokeholds and strangleholds

Banning things with the police does not work. NYPD banned chokeholds and still used one on Eric Garner. The officer who killed him was never indicted on any charges.
