Lernziele / Kompetenzen | The aim of the seminar is to reflect on the roles we attribute to design and technology currently, how it was set in pop culture narratives and how we could ‘reboot’ the disciplines in education to include urgent societal questions, especially when it pertains to colonial legacies. The seminar is structured as conversations around case studies and the students will work on certain questions themselves. The final assignment for the seminar should represent an original perspective on those issues and can take different formats: it could be a written essay in a more classic format but it could also be a visual or conceptual proposition. This collection of unusual essays will constitute together an online exhibition. |

What if we should reboot our mindset for design methods and technological tools to become truly inclusive? In this course, we will look at a range of aspects:
