IDEAS ARRANGEMENTS EFFECTS
Join Design Studio for Social Intervention (DS4SI) and University of Orange (UoO) in their upcoming book group! Using the Ideas–Arrangements–Effects framework from DS4SI’s new book, we will dig into techniques and examples for sensing arrangements, intervening in unjust ones, and imagining new, more sustainable and joyful ones.
Meetings are Monday’s in August from 5PM to 6PM. To participate:

About the book
Ideas are embedded in social arrangements, which in turn produce effects.
With this simple premise, this radically accessible systems design book makes a compelling case for arrangements as a rich and overlooked terrain for social justice and world building. Unpacking how ideas like racism and sexism remain sturdy by embedding themselves in everything from physical and social infrastructure to everyday speech and thought habits, this book gives readers the tools to sense, intervene in and imagine new arrangements. Using diverse examples from their work and others, DS4SI offers readers a roadmap for using social interventions to invite the larger public into imagining and creating a more just and vibrant world.
