The Intersection of Design and Policing

The Policing Issue of Design Museum Magazine tackles the challenges between design and policing, including an exploration into the root causes of using design as oppression, the history of design, and how it intersects with policing.

This was the topic of conversation in The Intersection of Design and Policing podcast. Sam Aquillano and I talked about how I chose the contributors and the role that policing plays in design. We were later joined by Timothy Bardlavens, who co-wrote the piece “Designed for Harm: How Products of Policing Enforce Extra-judicial Practices of Control and Submission” with me for this issue.

Listen below to hear how we dove into this intersection and rethinking of the current structure.
