The intersection of shrinking society and epistemic justice / Extracting structural patterns via 5-lab integration
Reading the intersection of shrinking society and epistemic justice through the observational axes of ISVD's five labs (agnotology / machikarte / public-asset-ppp / social-design-foundations / traffic-noise). Presents the qualitative dimension of 'whose voice shrinks first' and shows three cross-lab common mechanisms and their link to counter-design.
Operationalizing the Six-Field Integration Model — A Four-Stage Mapping from Theory to Practice
This essay presents a four-stage procedure for translating the six-field integration model of social design foundations (social policy, agnotology, epistemology, participatory design, EBPM, civil society theory) into concrete practice. It maps the procedure onto the empirical work of ISVD's four other labs (agnotology, machikarte, public-asset-ppp, traffic-noise) and reports three challenges observed during implementation.
