CONVERSATION: Challenging Extractive Pedagogies: When Students Work With Communities
The use of ‘live’ briefs and project-based learning models have been widely adopted in design education and are often presented “as best practices in design education” (Noel, 2021:256). DiSalvo (2021) warns us that the uncritical application of design methods to address societal issues risks “reproducing and re-asserting structures of power over [the] communities we work with” (Potter et al., 2025: 2). This conversation seeks to bring together design educators and researchers to discuss the risk of extractive pedagogies in such learning models and explore how these risks might be managed. In particular, it will ask: Can ‘live’ student projects deliver true reciprocity with the communities with whom they partner? | ||
