Gender Equality and Diversity in Design Conference 2021
14 /15 October 2021 • Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences • Institute for Design Research • Call for Key Speaker • Design describes a discipline and competence that has an impact on all levels of our public and private life and in which, precisely for this reason, the debate about a fair distribution and an equitable design of resources and their access for social coexistence becomes central. With the New European Bauhaus Initiative as part of the Green Deal agreement, the European Union has officially made clear the relevance of design and art for the humane shaping of a new better future based on the triad – sustainability, inclusivity and aesthetics. With our conference we – the research cluster „Design &Gender“ at the Institute for Design Research, Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences–want to specifically stimulate an interdisciplinary and cross-university discourse on the topic of „Design and Gender Equality“ and thereby explicitly address Design & Diversity themes as well as Inclusivity as part of our engagement towards social sustainability.
