Are simplicity and minimalism the universal design standards for interaction design? How can we avoid stereotyping with personas in design practices? What AI algorithms and design mechanism made “digital blackface” phenomenon on social media so popular? This interactive course teaches participants to reconsider some commonly held design beliefs and routine design practices through a lens of cultural differences. Illustrated with design cases of digital technology, it introduces strategies and techniques to turn differences into design resources to achieve empowerment from within. Participants will learn essential critical design skills of creating engaging and empowering designs in a globalized world at a divisive time for healing and transformation.
