Meet the Editor: futuress.org's Nina Paim and our very own coordinator Mayar El Bakry discuss our latest Publication Design Struggles at this year's Memory Full 2021 - online DHS conference. Registrations are still open! Hurry up!

Design Struggles critically assesses the ways in which the design field is involved in creating, perpetuating, promoting and reinforcing injustice and inequality in social, political, economic, cultural and ecological systems.

The essays collected in this volume explore a broad number of approaches to design research: Historical, critical perspectives on design and design research, overviews of the social conditions of design and the theories and instruments of co-design, investigations of design research practices, examples of concrete projects and developments, and connecting the material and digital worlds.
