In order to reimagine design as an unbound, ambiguous and unfinished practice, it gathers a diverse array of perspectives, ranging from social and cultural theory, design history and activism to sociology, anthropology and critical and political studies, looking at design through the intersections of gender, culture, ethnicity and class. The contributors generate new, anti-racist, postcapitalist, queer-feminist, environmentally conscious and community-based ideas on how to transform design that challenge the status quo and amplify underrepresented voices, both in the world of design and beyond.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eContributors include: \u003c\/b\u003e Danah Abdulla, Tanveer Ahmed, Zoy Anastassakis, Johannes Bruder, Cheryl Buckley, Sria Chatterjee, Alison J.
