Psychology and Design: Decolonial Intersections

This program critically examines the intersections of psychology and design through feminist and decolonial lenses. By challenging traditional perspectives and power structures, students will explore how gender, race, class, and other axes of identity shape design thinking.

Key themes include narrative identity, participatory design, feminist methodologies, collaboration and reflexivity in research, and deconstructing colonial frameworks within design practices and psychology research.

The course integrates theories from feminist psychology, critical race theory, and decolonial studies with practical applications in design. Through hands-on projects and reflective exercises, students will develop skills in designing research for social justice and promoting diverse representations in digital and physical environments.

Join us in exploring how feminist and decolonial approaches can transform the landscape of psychology and design, creating spaces that center issues of justice and collective liberation.
