Racism Untaught: Revealing and Unlearning Racialized Design (MIT Press) emerged from the need to foster learning environments that examine racialized design. Anti-racist design interventions can be difficult. Well-intentioned conversations can fuel tensions, activate racialized trauma, and lead to misunderstandings. In Racism Untaught, Mercer and Moses, two veteran educators, provide a step-by-step guide to anti-racist interventions that benefits all participants. Through dozens of successful workshops across the country, Mercer and Moses provide a framework for unlearning racialized design practices while fostering equity, justice, and community building.
