Sometimes you only realise how much work has been done some time after completion and when you are able to collect a body of work all together at once.
Originally posted on my personal Instagram account, I have reposted this short video on my YouTube channel so I can embed it here. It shows very quickly a selection of the zines students produced in the 2025-2026 term as coursework for the INM317 Design Justice postgraduate taught module I led this past academic year within the MSc Human-Computer Interaction Design, City St George’s, University of London, UK.
I’d meant to document here this work but life, as usual, had gotten in the way. It’s been lovely to see all the critical thinking and creativity embodied in the print and digital zines. This kind of work requires the will to push boundaries and to adapt frameworks and horizons of expectation, including assessment criteria. In the end, so to speak, the proof is in the pudding, and in how each pudding fits within, refers to, and hopefully contributes to other zine bakeries worldwide… (See, for example, https://zinebakery.com/).
Digital versions of the physical zines shown in the video were also deposited open access, licensed with Creative Comons, in the Design Justice Zine collection on figshare at https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.c.7270651.
These are student outputs and as such they are components of an ongoing learning process. Please be kind.
Resistance is not futile…
