{"product_id":"design-history-reader","title":"Design History Reader","description":"\u003cp\u003eHow can we — as people, as designers, as educators — contribute to change? How can we foster more enhanced cultures of empathy and inclusion? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesign History Reader grapples with the paradox that while historians intentionally craft historical discourse based on collective knowledge, it often remains bound to a singular perspective. This book encourages a pluralistic approach to the teaching and narrating of the history of graphic design, presenting a history that actually reflects the diversity in the classroom and in the profession at large.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThroughout this book, the Western design history canon is challenged through written research, highlighting under-known designers and design movements who deserve representation. In collaboration with Kristen Coogan, the students of History of Graphic Design from Boston University embraced a plural design history pedagogy, multiplying perspectives and bringing their own authentic experiences and lived histories into conversation — resulting in a range of stories representing both dominant and minority cultures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe concepts that tie these stories together become a contemporary vision of graphic design history and offer a new way to study, interact with, and perceive the narrative. Design History Reader is a dynamic starting point, open to interpretation and interrogation. It’s not anywhere near being fully representative but, instead, a living archive that will continue to expand as our collective research advances.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57194785767806,"sku":"NW9789493382084","price":22.23,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9789493382084.jpg?v=1778548610","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/design-history-reader","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
