Intersectional Design in Practice: A Critical Perspective on Sustainability for All

Abstract

This paper presents an empirical perspective on intersectional design in practice. The research is related to caring for the environment and for all citizens, including vulnerable groups, working towards sustainability for all people at systemic level. Starting from the need for defining new educational ways to teach sustainability to all citizens from an intersectional design model we took into consideration the importance of data gathering by the school community towards devising inclusive processes and by applying methods from participatory discussions to prototype experiments. The same intersectional approach will be used to design the technology for sustainability education that should trigger green and digital transitions and the maximum societal reach by mean sustainability through design.
