Systemic oppression and systemic design
Frederick Van Amstel discusses systemic oppression and design, referencing theories by Frantz Fanon, Paulo Freire, and Augusto Boal. He emphasizes that design must hold oppressors accountable while supporting the oppressed, as systemic design alone cannot dismantle oppression. The document highlights the dynamics between privileged and underprivileged social groups in the context of user oppression.
