Decolonizing Data and Design

When we think about product and policy analysis and design, we don’t often think about the colonial underpinnings of our work. Many people think of data and design as somehow “neutral” and “objective.” But if we dig deeper, we begin to understand how they can perpetuate inequalities. So, what would it mean to decolonize data and decolonize design? In this episode, we talk to Jacqueline Quinless, author of Decolonizing Data, and Dori Tunstall, author of Decolonizing Design, to answer that question.
