Improving Intercultural Collaboration With Visual Thinking, Kelly M. Murdoch-Kitt, Denielle J. Emans
Learn X Design Conference Series
Intercultural collaboration is one strategy for promoting inclusion and innovation in design education. Bringing two or more cultures together in an environment facilitates learning from each other’s varied perspectives and ultimately creates positive interpersonal gains and design outcomes.

This assignment asks students to objectively review scholarly research on police bias and constructively criticize …
