Drawing on original designer interviews, this book explores how design interventions can and do support sex and gender equity and what barriers still stand in the way.
Isabel Prochner brings attention to sex and gender problems related to design artefacts, but also provides a unique overview of creative design responses to these issues. The case studies and designer interviews provide new information about how designers can address these issues and the challenges they may encounter—whether that’s a lack of anthropometric data, trouble finding investment and business support, or even public resistance. Prochner brings together primary and secondary research and the most contemporary theories on sex, gender and design.
The book will be of interest to scholars working in design studies, sex and gender studies, social design, design for health, industrial design, product design, fashion design, and interaction design.
