Talk or Interview NEED.WANT.LOVE: A Dialogue about Humans + Climate Change
Explore radical inclusion and belonging through the lens of this PLNU student climate change publication case study. It may seem like a stretch, but environmental and social problems are not two separate problems, but one interconnected complex crisis, where vulnerable and marginalized communities often suffer the most. This talk explains how design, research, and strategy can help shift consciousness to educate, inspire advocacy and empower civil dialogue and action. As design educators, we can positively impact visual communications to effectively address the health and well-being of humanity and our common home, now and for future generations.
