Have you come across an anti-establishment design academic? Coz I haven't

There are some design academics I huge admire for their theories and frameworks but hate to see them operate with a slightly condescending attitude towards non-academics.

Where they have like an immediate and almost instinctual aversion for people thinking about design without use of jargon, without following the typical conventions they are used to.

This makes me wonder, in what way does the liberatory potential of a theory (or really any idea) is hidden from a person too accustomed with its institutional baggage aka it's routinized ways of seeing things.

@impactology I'd say me but then I'd resent being called a design academic LMAO

@FractalEcho Ah grateful to bump into you here :)

Do you resonate with any of these principles, tenets?

@FractalEcho

I'm working on sort of a DIY design thesis to materialize some of the principles above, a baby step.

Merging the camps of open education research, philosophy of education and interface design
