As social engagement establishes itself in the design field, a variety of collaborative approaches and projects are emerging. In this panel, we will present projects supporting social justice and community agency, as well as the challenges associated with this practice. In addition we will discuss the role of the practitioner in community-engaged design, and how communities are uplifted and empowered during the collaborative process.
Moderated by Shalini Agrawal, Director, Center for Art and Public Life at California College of the Arts
