Making Space for Love: The UX of Sustainable Societies, with B Cordelia Yu

Last year I took us on a trip through the socioeconomic, cultural, and regulatory stack that the tech industry is built on. We talked about how lasting social change to create true sustainability and inclusive justice required push for change at all levels: the personal, community, social, and global scales. And while I offered a few suggestions for personal action and laid out principles for what it would take to make the whole system environmentally and socially just, the question that everyone asked was “Okay, so how do we do this?”

So that’s what I’ve been working on for the last year and it’s time to start refactoring.

Come learn how radically reimagining what democratic participation looks like may just be the key we need to creating a more inclusive and just society. And think about our role as technologists in building the spaces and tools to support systems that expand sustainability.
