In this two-part workshop series, DJN members from MIT's Design Justice Project present three activities from the Design Justice Pedagogy Summit that guide participants through reflecting and embedding design justice into their course and/or activity, engage them in a syllabus “makeathon" and articulate their goals through policy envisioning.

Register now for this first session, scheduled for Feb 12 from 1:30-4pm ET (UTC-05), which focuses on the first two activities. In Activity #1, participants will identify one initial thing that they would like to change in their activity or course. In Activity #2, the syllabus makeathon, participants will explore the workshop outputs from Activity #1 to see the changes that participants were thinking of incorporating into their work. Then, participants will document all of their ideas for their course, reflect on how those ideas relate to incorporating equity and justice considerations into their course, and consider their long-term goals for the course.

The second session, scheduled for March 6th, will focus on Activity #3, policy envisioning. Participants will create goals around design justice in higher education including at the department, institution, and/or academic field level. Registration for this session will open shortly and will be shared on DJN's website and with everyone who signs up for this first session.
