Towards Radical Synergy For More Just And Equitable Futures, Audrey Bennett, Ron Eglash, Roland Graf, Deepa Butoyila, Keesa Johnson, Jenn Low, Andréia Rocha

Learn X Design Conference Series

Inequity and social injustice are omnipresent wicked problems, complex challenges for which there are no single solutions due to their cross-cultural, cross-disciplinary, and systemic nature. For example, the “green revolution” of the 1970s was supposed to solve world hunger. But we saw instead a rise in corporate control over agriculture (Pielke and Linner, 2019). The design of social media, widely touted as creating a harmonious global village in the 1980s, has instead partly turned into hatching grounds for a global white supremacist movement and other forms of extremism. We cannot afford to passively allow accidental synergies to create global disasters. …
