20 - Unlearning Bias In Design Education with Ida Persson
Show Notes
In this episode, I speak with Ida Persson, a Communications Design Lead at IDEO, on the topic of the biases in design education and what we as designers can do about it.
A few highlights from our conversation
Quotes from the episode
“The master's tools will never dismantle the master's house.” - Audre Lorde.
“Any real change implies the breakup of the world as one has always known it, the loss of all that gave one an identity, the end of safety. And at such a moment, unable to see and not daring to imagine what the future will now bring forth, one clings to what one knew or dreamed that one possessed. Yet, it is only when a man is able, without bitterness or self-pity, to surrender a dream he has long possessed that he is set free — he has set himself free — for higher dreams, for greater privileges.” - James Baldwin.
