I’m your host Kelly Ann McKercher, author of Beyond Sticky Notes: Doing Co-design for Real. On today's podcast I’m joined by the exceptional Sloan Leo. Sloan is many things - a designer, community organiser, educator, friend and owner of Flox Studios. We talk about equity-centred design, about the inspiration that Sloan has taken from bell hook’s work, how Sloan came to design from frustration and what they are thinking about now. https://floxstudio.com/ bell hooks 'theory as liberatory practice' https://digitalcommons.law.yale.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1044&context=yjlf

To give you an overview of chapters that we now have in place we have Cameroon with Yannick, Sydney with Inez Garcia, Berlin with Myrto Papagiannakou , Ireland with Sarah Heffernan, UK with Laura Folorni and Melbourne with Megan McDonald.  If you’re interested in leading a chapter in your area, drop us a line to gerry@thisishcd.com and we will connect you to our wonderful and incredible Global Chapter Lead - Rebekah Murphy who is based in Sydney, Australia. Now - let’s kick off there’s been lots going on this week in the This is HCD and This is Doing worlds. First up, we have some amazing news, and that is KA McKercher - one of our newest podcast hosts will be training with This is Doing and is working away with Ann, our incredible learning designer based in Denver to create a Co-Design course in early 2022. That isn’t that long away… For members inside the Slack community - we have released new Chapter specific areas for you to join and connect with communities and practitioners in your area. Our goal is to connect, and we realise there are many ways to do this - and we want to test out how this works. We’d love to cultivate more connections to help a live ecosystem of sharing and knowledge exchange. Up until this point, we had applications for the Slack channel, and we are going to trial an open door policy to the Slack community - where anyone can join who is interested in learning about HCD and joining our incredible community. There are about 1600 people in there at the moment, and given it’s not as active as we’d like - we are really starting to focus on this a lot more, given that we are moving away from Meetup globally on Jan 1 2022.  Which brings us to the next bit of news - Sydney’s Chapter Lead, Inez Garcia has been in touch to tell us about an event they are hosting with Luke Cravens, a really smart person that I follow actually - and looks to have been doing some incredible work with the ATO in Australia (that’s the Australian Tax Office for non-Aussie listeners) let’s listen to Inez’s overview.

Welcome to Bringing Design Closer, the podcast focussed on discussing Designs role in tackling  complex societal issues. Our goal is to have conversations that inspire and to help move the dial forward for organisations to become more human-centred in their approach to solving complex business and societal problems. In this episode I speak with the brilliant, George Aye - Co-Founder of Great Good Studio in Chicago - a Design Firm dedicated to the social sector. George has had an expansive career to date, working in many complex social issues globally - He’s adjunct professor at the School of the Art Institute in Chicago.  We speak about Human-Centered-ness in this podcast. Just what do we mean when we say HCD and we discuss the problems it faces when being applied - what is causing the term to lose its power and the role education and large consultancies play.  We talk about what often gets missed when HCD work is undertaken, and also cover off the criteria for taking on projects at Greater Good Studio - and the role power plays in that selection process.

Welcome to Bringing Design Closer, the podcast focussed on discussing Designs role in tackling  complex societal issues. Our goal is to have conversations that inspire and to help move the dial forward for organisations to become more human-centred in their approach to solving complex business and societal problems. In this episode we welcome Randal Plunkett who is also Lord Dunsany of Dunsany land in Meath, an area 50 miles north west of Dublin City in Ireland. Randal’s family are deeply entrenched in my upbringing - as a great great great great great great uncle of Randals was Oliver Plunkett, who was brutally murdered by Oliver Cromwell in 1681 and who’s head is still on display in the town where I grew up, Drogheda. Randal is one of the last blood lines of Oliver Plunkett - so it’s been fantastic to connect and hear stories about his up bringing. I recently spotted an interview with Randal in The Guardian newspaper in the UK where he was interviewed about one of the largest Rewilding projects that I had heard of - which is part of his 1700 acre estate.  In the conversation we speak about what led Randal to take the leap into Rewilding, how it was perceived amongst his family and community and mostly importantly, what happened to the land as the years went by.  We speak about the darker side of life as a Lord, who is responsible for not only maintaining an estate - but protecting it for future generations both from environmental damage and decay but also from human damage of the land and hunters who come to prey on the animals who have returned to the Dunsany Estate and Reserve. It’s a good one - let’s jump in...
