This unit synthesizes lessons on the DEI reckoning, generational influence, and inclusive design to equip learners with tools for imagining and building just futures. Students will practice future-modeling, decolonization of futures, and create future-proof inclusive design strategies ready for organizational implementation.
Learning Objectives
- Analyze historical DEI failures in UX by identifying root causes and at least three systemic patterns of exclusion across provided case studies
- Evaluate the influence of emerging generations on corporate decision-making by constructing a stakeholder-influence map and assessing two or more implications for design practice
- Apply inclusive and decolonized futures methodologies to produce three distinct, evidence-based future scenarios for a selected product or service using taught modeling techniques
- Develop a future-proof inclusive design strategy and prototype roadmap that includes measurable DEI success metrics, implementation steps, and feedback/iteration mechanisms
