Activism in Design Education shows how design pedagogy can become a form of public action, proving universities are not just places of learning, but engines for real-world change. The book showcases design educators from across the United States who are using their studios and seminars as incubators for activism, partnering with communities, sharing power, and empowering students to transform their communities. Organized by levels of urgency, the chapters offer community-led, evidence-based strategies for crisis response and long-haul transformation. Models range in scale from a national emergency schoolyard design campaign to a micro greywater reuse system supporting unhoused neighbors. Locations include urban anti-displacement planning in Boston’s Chinatown; rural fire recovery strategies in Mora and San Miguel Counties, New Mexico; and design for cultural restoration and reparation in Lincoln, Nebraska, and Rosewood, Florida. These educators embed activism into their pedagogy, engaging students in community projects that drive social and environmental justice and repair.For educators and students, institutions and community members, this book provides a roadmap and inspiration to align design education with community priorities and to translate learning into community care. During a time of uncertainty, Activism in Design Education shares purpose and hope.

What would a school look like if it was designed with mental health in mind? Too many public schools look and feel like prisons, designed out of fear of vandalism and truancy. But we know that nurturing environments are better for learning. Research consistently shows that access to nature, big classroom windows, and open campuses reduce stress, anxiety, disorderly conduct, and crime, and improve academic performance. But too few school designers and decision-makers apply this research to create healthy schools. Schools That Heal details the myriad opportunities, from furniture to classroom improvements to whole campus renovations, to make supportive learning environments for our children and teenagers.Schools around the world have been designed to support students’ health. A Japanese community decimated by a tsunami has incorporated water elements into the school campus to reconnect students to nature in a supportive way and promote environmental stewardship. Sandy Hook Elementary, creating a completely redesigned campus in the wake of a school shooting, began with an inclusive design process to ensure the new school could be a place of healing and learning. And while the larger mental and physical impacts of how COVID-19 has changed schooling aren’t known yet, Latané discusses how building elements like large windows, that can open to circulate fresh air, were once common in schools and could once again be useful as a cost-effective tactic for reducing virus exposure.Backed by decades of research, Schools That Heal showcases clear and compelling ways to create schools that support students’ mental health and feelings of safety. Written in an accessible tone, this book reviews the evidence connecting design to mental health and makes design and advocacy recommendations to support students’ well-being and sense of safety.With invaluable advice for school administrators, public health experts, teachers, and parents, Schools That Heal is a call to action and a practical resource to envision and implement nurturing and inspiring school environments. Healthy, healing campuses will better prepare students to take care of themselves, their communities, their cities, and their planet.
