Social Justice Inclusive Context

The rapid move to online learning provided a respite from the imminent closure of campuses, demonstrating new ways of communication, interaction, and collaboration. However, it soon transpired that “inclusive practice that considers an inclusive excellence” (Ramohai 2019, p. 3), and “fair and just distribution of all opportunities, benefits, privileges and burdens” (Madonsela 2020), was not evident in the online spaces. Access to data, connectivity, hardware and software, digital literacies, and suitable space to work, were not equal.

Drawing on Nancy Fraser’s (2007; 2009) Social Justice Framework that distinguishes between the redistribution of resources, and recognition of cultural difference, we propose eight inclusive practices:

Based in Brooklyn, New York, I work at the intersection of interior design, social activism and emerging digital technologies. As a design activist and technologist, I work to decolonise the design curricula and facilitate the democratization of technologies, heightened since the global pandemic and pivot online. Designing feminist exhibitions and round table discussions, and collaboratively building an equitable database of resources for the design studio that opens relationships between the Global South and North. Collaboration is central in my practice. I am co-authoring a chapter titled “The Radically Inclusive Studio: an open access conversation on radically inclusive practices in the architectural design studio” with newfound colleagues in South Africa and Australia for The Routledge Companion to Architectural Pedagogies of the Global South, edited by Dean Harriet Harriss, Ashraf Salama, and Ane Gonzalez Lara. Research presented in December 2020 at HELTASA in South Africa: “Inclusive Spatial Practices for Professional Education” and in May 2020 for Teaching Architecture Online: Methods and Outcomes: “Creating the Virtual Commons”.
