- About: Traditional and currently prevalent pedagogies of design perpetuate ableist and exclusionary notions of what it means to be a designer. In this session, Dr. Coppola will give a brief overview of historically exclusionary norms of design education and highlight modern-day instances of her own experience as a design educator in such epistemologies. Coppola will lead us in imagining a more inclusive and sustainable future of design education and present case studies from personal experience in redesigning course experiences for students with disabilities.
