Designing Gender : A Feminist Toolkit, Paperback / softback Book

Designing Gender : A Feminist Toolkit Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

This book offers an ideal first step for designers looking to disrupt contemporary design practice by challenging gender inequality.

Drawing on feminist and queer theory, it outlines key concepts and applies them to a broad spectrum of design activity.

By developing feminist design approaches and methods, it provides a practical resource for designers wanting to make a change. Designing Gender covers essential topics including definitions of sex, gender and sexuality, histories of women in design, parity in professional design practice, diversity of users, non-binary design approaches, and sustainable and equitable futures. Filled with examples from around the world, the book recognises the culturally specific nature of gendered experience.

Interviews with designers working in a diverse range of fields including user experience design, visual communication, interaction design and critical design, highlight the challenges and opportunities involved in designing a more equitable society.

Each chapter showcases key methods and tools and culminates in hands-on activities.
