About:

How do we address inequities within design by and for the disabled community?

What creative opportunities does disability bring to design?

How can we ensure disabled ingenuity is recognized and comprehensively applied?

Join us for a discussion with MCAD President Sanjit Sethi and three prominent advocates who lead in the field of disability and design. The MCAD President’s Lecture is a biannual series that provides a platform for design practitioners who are change agents for a more inclusive future.

The conversation will put a critical lens on normalized structures within design and center on disability as a creative, disruptive practice. The topics will include design pedagogy and curriculum, intersectional community engagement, and disability strategy for political campaigns and major companies.
