In September 2025 we welcomed Ole B. Jensen to Cemore and the School of Arts in Lancaster, and he very kindly agreed to present a paper on his forthcoming book. We are now very happy to share the recording.
Mobility Injustice by Design – reflections over design as an agent of power and social change
Based on a forthcoming book and current work-in-progress this presentation focus, on how injustice in relation to mobility both can be the intended result of design and policy decisions as well as unintentional consequences of design. The presentation shortly describes this within the areas of aging populations, unhoused, and disability. The theoretical framework connects design, bodies, and injustice to the overarching theme of mobility. The presentation critically discusses the role of design in everyday life and offers a tentative theory of design as something ontologically manifest in everyday life via the notion of ‘the made’ as well as it discusses design’s potential as agent for social change via re-thinking it as something that can be ‘re-made’ and even ‘un-made’.
