Is inclusive design failing inclusion? Identifying the dilemmas at the core philosophy and practices of inclusive design
Luka Kille-Speckter, Farnaz Nickpour
University of Liverpool, United Kingdom
Inclusion’ is aspirationally popular these days, full of complexities, contradictions and compromises. With the rise of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) to the top of societal ‘agenda’, a question worth asking is, are we becoming truly more inclusive, or simply moving towards a version of inclusion which is ‘realistic’, ‘achievable’ and ‘measurable’. What role does Inclusive Design play here and which narrative/s of inclusion is it contributing to? In this conversation, we interrogate the potential paradoxes and dilemmas of Inclusive Design from both a philosophical and a practical point of view. We then ask how these could be categorically captured and successfully communicated to inform the practice and advance the field.
