the workplace and how to navigate them.

racism, and ableism.
- Practical guides cover everything from starting out, to wage gaps,
coming out at work, cover letters, mentoring, and more.
A new take on the design canon.
- Opens with critical essays that rethink design principles and
practices through theories of feminism, anti-racism, inclusion, and
nonbinary thinking.
- Features interviews, essays, typefaces, and projects from dozens of
contributors with a variety of racial and ethnic backgrounds, abilities,
gender identities, and positions of economic and social privilege.
- Adds new voices to the dominant design canon.
