Demarginalizing Design : Elevating Equity for Real World Problem Solving

This book supports educators as they solve challenges of educational inequity through the lens of design thinking.

The goal of this book is to demystify equity work and provide perspective for educators to solve real-world problems with the most marginalized in their midst as co-designers for a better future. Cultural and educational narratives are changing, and educators are at the forefront of this change. Teachers and school leaders need a way to engage students and staff in shifting long-ingrained beliefs, empower them to overcome culturally biased narratives, and embed the type of problem-solving mindset that will build a more equitable future for all.

This book will challenge you to get out of the pages and into the margins. There you will find what it means to design with and for equity. This is not a design thinking book. This is a think like a designer book. This is Demarginalizing Design.
