Critical Pedagogy and the Pluriversal Design Studio [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
Studio learning is central to the teaching of design. However, the disruption of the COVID-19 pandemic, alongside emerging and historic critiques of studio pedagogy, creates a space for critical engagement with the present and potential futures of design education in studio. In this paper, I outline historic critiques of studio pedagogy, drawing primarily from critical pedagogy literature to frame issues relating to disempowerment, student agency, and monolithic representations of the student role and student development. I build upon this critical foundation to re-imagine studio practices as pluriversal, recognizing the challenges and opportunities of bridging epistemological and ontological differences and facilitating the potential for pluralism in design curricula, our student experiences, and the future of design professions.
