Sinopsis

Essays and lectures on design pedagogy from a group founded by faculty members of Pratt Institute

How does design give form to social fictions? How does design and the professionalization of design schooling maintain the priorities of nations and capital? Through Witnessing names and wrestles with institutional design education’s pseudo-neutral relationship with colonial capitalist world orders and what it means to teach and design today. It slowly weaves together ideas on designing as a mechanism of maintenance and teaching against bureaucratic inertia.
This volume compiles discussions from the Post-Radical Pedagogy lecture series organized by Nida Abdullah, Chris Lee and Xinyi Li, who are all assistant professors in the Undergraduate Communications Design Department at Pratt Institute in New York. The series operated as a vehicle to activate pedagogical practice through and against institutional inertia; it explored, antagonized, challenged and interrogated the values and legacies that shape design pedagogy today. Engaging in pedagogical expressions of rage, generosity, forgiveness, slowness and chaos, the lectures, essays and interviews in this book reflect on the possibilities and sometimes impossibilities toward un-doing and un-maintaining the enduring legacies of colonial powers.
