How Can We Challenge Current Design Processes to Avoid Bias and Exclusion?- 2019 Core77 Conference

Hoping to learn more about this year’s Core77 Conference lineup? Here’s a deep dive into one our our presenters we’re very excited to include: Liz Jackson is founder of The Disabled List, a disability-led organization that connects design firms and consultancies with creative disabled people who are available for design consulting. At “THE THIRD WAVE” conference this October, Jackson will be discussing the sci-fi tropes swaying conversations around how the future will be designed, and how this perspective may actually be harming disabled populations. It’s a topic that will make you contemplate—what biases am I bringing into the design process, and how do I confront them? How can we as a community welcome new voices to design to not just challenge harmful design practices but also create better products overall? A recent conversation with Jackson helped illuminate her objectives for how her and The Disabled List can help change design’s direction: “Usually in design when people consider disability, typically the goal is to smooth things out or to fix a thing. But for me, it's really about honoring the friction of disability. Really thinking about what sort of creative opportunity disability has to bring to design”. [You can read the full interview here](. This is just one of many topics that will be explored at this year's Core77 Conference, where we'll tackle how design skills can be harnessed for global change now and in the future.
