How Do We Move Past Designer as Hero Dynamics?
Dr. Christina N. Harrington Discusses the Power of Co-Design
"So I think there's something there we have to start to negotiate or reason with. How do we own what we've learned as designers without the design narcissism? How do we change the way we think about centering marginalized voices? Because I think, even now, as much progress that has been made in folks wanting design to be more inclusive, we still have folks who think they need to speak for users or groups and communities who are typically neglected in design, instead of making way or providing a platform for them to advocate for themselves, speak for themselves, and design for themselves…it's almost like a sense of gatekeeping, I think." (Dr. Christina N. Harrington, Core 77)
