Rooted in a critique of designer-centric practice and embracing an ethic of social responsibility, Inclusive Design (or Universal Design) focuses on developing form from function to increase the usefulness and responsiveness of our world for a wider and more diverse range of people. This presentation will provide an overview of the Inclusive Design paradigm. It introduces the goals and knowledge bases, methods of implementation and evaluation, and best practice examples.
Jordana Maisel, PhD, works at the intersection of research, teaching and practice as assistant professor in the Department of Urban and Regional Planning and as research director for the Center for Inclusive Design and Environmental Access (IDEA Center) within the School of Architecture and Planning.
She brings experience designing and conducting experimental studies in the laboratory and field; analyzing data; and, capturing and interpreting stakeholder perspectives with surveys, interviews, and focus groups. Maisel has led research in the areas of public transportation, street infrastructure, post occupancy evaluations, and accessible housing policy.
The Fall Lecture Series is made possible through the generous support of the College of Architecture and Environmental Design at Kent State University.
In partnership with the American Planning Association Cleveland Section. One hour of Certification Maintenance credit is pending.
