Nice read and discussion in thread. Good addition to a design researcher's/user researcher's toolbox, especially those focused on design justice principles, co-design, and equity centred design approaches.

Replace 'scholarship' with 'government service design' and same same same. They're not called 'interlocking systems of oppression' for nothing. Shout out to gov colleagues to reflect on how your research and design approaches uphold 'objectivity'. See also: Civil Service Code 🙃

If you can, step up and donate #ForTinu to meet her medical costs. 'My cancer medication retails for $493 a pill' and a $6,000 deductable are inconceivable notions to us here in Scotland. We all need Tinu well, no matter where we are in the world.

Really looking forward to chatting to Afua Hagan (née Adom) and Faima Bakar this Wednesday about all things media, writing and women of colour’s participation - last few tickets to join us online are available here - open to all. eventbrite.co.uk/e/pass-the-mic… #PassTheMic

Really enjoying this thread.

What Ross said! Let us know if you’re keen to get together in Glasgow occasionally for some company while you work.

#CriticalUX is back! There are two conferences I attend every year and this is one. Fully remote, recordings provided and currently $15. To say Critical UX has influenced and challenged my practice is an understatement. If you actually do #SDinGov, this is unmissable.

I finally started reading Information Activism- A Queer History of Lesbian Media Technologies by Cait McKinney. It’s really really great and I recommend it! Anyone else read it?

👀 Dr Charlotte Orr Shelly Jeffcott 🇦🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 I'm reflecting on the importance of language setting.

I’m working with @rapecrisisscot and Amina MWRC on how we improve access to justice and services for women of colour who have experienced sexual violence - this discussion event is open to WOC in Scotland: (Paid participation opportunity) eventbrite.co.uk/e/discussion-g… - please share.

I'm doing cool stuff. Part time embedded in a government policy team easing them into upstream participation and co-design and part time worker-owner of a justice and equity centred design co-op called fractals co-op. Everyone keeps asking what we do at fractals- here's a taste👇

Coming soon! #ContentClub a place to talk about all things #ContentDesign and #UCD

This was a special moment for me. Thank you The Privilege Cafe Maha Bali, PhD مها بالي 🌵🇵🇸 for sharing time with me and @YLabWales for bringing us together 🥰

This is immense! If you haven’t signed up yet, you have plenty of time now. #CriticalUX is such a valuable learning and reflection event- it’s always had an immediate impact on my work. I can’t wait to see what’s in store this time around!

Who is making the t-shirts?! 'Oh, shit the canon is socially constructed' 😍

I can't wait to get my paws on these! I'd love to link up with folks in Scotland/UK for a play around IRL. Let me know if you're interested 🗃️

Hi Spooked Podcast 👋🏼 I’m looking for an episode featuring Roberta Simpson Brown telling her story ‘Storm Walker’. I’m sure I heard this on Spooked but I can’t find it anywhere! Am I misremembering or looking too hard? Thank you for any help 🙏🏼
