This piece is such a clear reminder that a studio/ an institution can preach inclusive design while physically shutting people out. EDI shouldn’t be reduced to a checklist; it is a continuous process of critical examination and redesign; it’s perpetual pattern-making.

This is such a thought-provoking post—thank you for sharing your insights and experiences.

One point that really stood out to me was how Muslim women’s clothing is often interpreted through a Western lens. I’m particularly curious about how traditional or religiously coded clothing—often assumed to be restrictive—might instead…Read more

Your reflection captures how faith, gender, and culture overlap to shape Muslim women’s experience in fashion education. The story of the student labelled “not fashion enough” for seeking both luxury and modest-wear internships shows how narrowly the field defines cultural capital!

I really appreciated how you illustrated the intersectionality and the way you framed it as a bridge.

Your teaching reflections hit home, too. I once worked with a student who couldn’t physically get to the on-site measuring equipment, and no amount of “just let us know” fixed that. I guess these are syste…Read more

I like how you map Appiah’s point about Europeans filtering new religions through a Christian lens onto the way libraries “shelve” knowledge. And I agree that pretending the system is neutral only hides the bias. They’re human choices afterall. I’m with you on making the system’s non-neutral…Read more

I agree: humility plus a few facilitation tricks is what keeps tough conversations productive. The “Christianity-as-default” lens is exactly the shortcut I’m trying to unlearn..

I worried that disclosing my own ADHD/dyslexia lens might feel ‘over-sharing’, so hearing it landed as “real” and useful is a huge relief. Lived experience can be awkward to put on the page!

You’ve really encouraged me to keep turning them into everyday practice.

The Wellcome Collection exhibition sounds perfect. I skimmed the curator’s notes, and it seems to explores language as a home and what it means to live under the threat of losing one’s language. I’d never heard of the 1880 Mi…Read more
