OM DENNE EPISODE
How can exhibition teams help to decolonize design? What are the pitfalls cultural organizations should watch out for in their DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) initiatives? What’s a supertoken and why are cluster hires a better strategy? And what does it mean to approach the process indigenous-first?
The new book, “Decolonizing Design: A Cultural Justice Guidebook” offers answers to all these questions and more, thanks to author Dr. Dori Tunstall. Now starting her own consulting firm, Dori was previously the dean of the faculty of design at OCAD in Toronto. She was also the first black dean of a faculty of design anywhere.
In this episode, Dr. Tunstall joins host Jonathan Alger (Managing Partner, C&G Partners) to talk about her new book, what it means for the field of design, and how listeners can begin their own process of “decolonizing design” — from understanding the deep roots of the issue, all the way to writing smarter job postings.
