Abstract

How do we frame questions around design and sustainability? Do we consider the many different ways of being, doing and knowing across the planet? In this talk, Lesley-Ann Noel shares stories about design, sustainability and pluriversality and how (and why) she intentionally introduced critical theory into the design courses she was teaching, ultimately leading to the creation of design tools like The Designer’s Critical Alphabet and the Positionality Wheel.

Noel invites the audience to recognize pluriversality in sustainability and also share how these tools have impacted her own design practice and research, including providing glimpses into work in progress as a provocation for the audience to bring critical concepts into their own work.
