Design Research for Change

<p>This edited volume explores notions of care that are overlooked or neglected for one reason or another, featuring projects that examine the most common forms of care – mostly health and social care – in a new light.</p><p>Chapters cover new ground – from overlooked histories of care to caring for the future, from economies and the commodification of care to equitable care, from anarchic care to the choreography of care, from proposing a policy for empathy to questioning whether design really needs empathy at all, and much more. The book shows that design is well-situated to bring forward, in theory and in practice, a care of the possible in view of what can be prevented and, in the same gesture, of what can be invented about the future of care.</p><p>The book will be of interest to scholars working in product design, service design, information design, sustainable design, and user-centred/user-experience design.</p>
