Design Materials and Making for Social Change explores the interconnected realms of materiality and society, spanning diverse scales and contexts. It delves into the significance of knowledge, skills, and methods that arise when design researchers engage directly with materials and prioritize making in their practice. By examining the social implications of material impacts, the contributors to this edited volume explore a wide range of topics, including homelessness, diaspora, migration, the decline of craft skills and communities, dignity in work and family life, the effects of colonialism, climate crisis, education, mental health, and the complexities of collaborating with and across diverse disciplines and stakeholders.
