A Methodology for International Comparison of Counter-Design — A Framework for Comparing Four Lineages that Implement Epistemic Justice
This note presents a methodology for internationally comparing counter-design practices that implement epistemic justice. It sketches a comparative framework across five axes (thought, subject, method, evaluation, funding) for four lineages — Nordic co-design, U.S. Design Justice, U.K. civic tech, and Latin American popular education — and makes explicit ISVD's position and its chosen combination of lineages.
Counter-Design Practices in Japan — A Structural Analysis of Domestic Attempts to Implement Epistemic Justice
