“Designing for Social Justice is an insightful edited collection that highlights the transformative power of designing projects in collaboration with community partners. Jiang and Tham have assembled an essential resource that invites readers to engage deeply with communities, to design with empathy and intention, and to create ethical work that resonates with the lived experiences of those it aims to serve.”Nora Rivera, Chapman University, USA“Continuing to push the field of Technical and Professional Communication, Designing for Social Justice advances the important work of imagining how social justice can be a central component of TPC work. Jiang and Tham have curated an excellent collection that is doing the important work of bridging our academic spaces to the communities we aim to connect with and serve.”Victor Del Hierro, University of Florida, USA“Designing for Social Justice foregrounds the vital role that communities must play when designing justice-oriented approaches to wicked problems. Whether seeking to expand their knowledge of theories and concepts encircling design and justice or searching for methodological or pedagogical practices they might adapt for research and learning in professional, public, educational, and design settings, audiences will find chapters that enrich their understanding of ethical, sustainable, reciprocal, and just community-engagement. That is, most importantly, Jiang and Tham have offered us a book that might steer our field toward more critical praxis with communities.”Timothy Amidon, Colorado State University, USA
