There is a growing movement for design justice; so the argument that those concerns are out of scope for "average" designers is way off base. There should be no higher concern.

<div>An article by the same author that addresses the core of my work as a design professional, and to some extent as an academic as well. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Unfortunately, I take umbrage with almost every element of the article, as well as the tone of the article. The section that forefronts ADPSR and Raphael Sperry really gets my goat. [Sorry this is a little off topic for this forum.]</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In any case, her book sounds <a href="https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=haPNsVOwHJs">https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=haPNsVOwHJs</a> amazing. </div>
