Now
only an expert can deal with the problem
Because half the
problem is seeing the problem
...
So if there’s no
expert dealing with the problem
It’s really actually twice
the problem
...

Designing
for Social Impact
'Designing
for Social Impact' is (Part 1) a conduit through which to build
narratives of identities and cultures in pragmatic practices of
social change, and (Part 2) provides a production setting for a
performative articulation of the self as a practitioner of social
change.
