Episode 129: Going Beyond a Human Centered World w/Ron Wakkary

Philip spends time with Ron Wakkary, author of Things We Could Design for More Than Human Centered Worlds. In their conversation, they discuss how design and its focus on the human perspective has had significant costs to the non-human//natural world around us. How can designers think differently to incorporate a wider perspective that in turn opens up new alternatives.
