Overview

Discernment is a practice that allows us to view and evaluate our design work through a spectrum of oppression and liberation.

If you're a designer vying to design for more positive outcomes — such as equity, inclusion and liberation — but getting lost in how to actually do it, discernment will be a powerful first step for you.

In this 60-minute workshop, you'll learn how to use the practice of discernment to better detect bias, harm and other patterns of oppression in your design work — as well as identify what's already leading to positive outcomes.

What you'll learn

  • Understand the importance of discernment in design and what it looks like in practice

  • Practice discernment in design across the spectrum of oppression and liberation through collective exercises

  • Discover how to deepen your discernment practice with the support of Design Changemakers
