Lesley-Ann Noel: Alberini Family Speaker Series in Design at UC Davis

Lesley-Ann Noel, an innovator in design education, research and practice who is known for her work on “emancipatory design,” will be the speaker for the fourth annual Alberini Family Speaker Series in Design at UC Davis. Noel’s lecture, “Envisioning Pluriversal Design,” will address the concept of “pluriversal” design, which is one method of understanding the world is not considered more valid than others, especially the largely dominant Eurocentric one. Pluriversality accepts many worlds, worldviews and epistemologies in which no particular worldview and description is placed in a position of privilege.
