Author Description

Intersectional Design drives innovation while supporting social justice and environmental sustainability. It's about getting the design right for people across all of society--from the very beginning. Intersectional Design considers overlapping or "intersecting" factors--including gender, ethnicity, age, geographic location, etc.--that interact to shape a person's or a group's experience and social opportunities as a starting point for a more inclusive design approach. The Intersectional Design Cards feature 12 intersectional factors, 4 design levels, and 16 case studies. The case studies tell the story of intersectional design--from inclusive crash test dummies, to voice assistants, to social robots, urban design, medical technologies, smart mobility, water infrastructure, marine science, and more.
