In Black, Brown + Latinx Design Educators, Kelly Walters collects twelve deeply personal interviews with graphic design educators of color who teach at colleges and universities across the United States and Canada. BIPOC design educators often find themselves in design spaces where they struggle as the only person of color at their school or workplace. Their impactful stories offer invaluable perspectives for students and emerging designers of color, creating an entry point to address the complexities of race in design and bring to light the challenges of teaching graphic design at different types of public and private institutions. The book centers the educators' unique narratives, from their childhood experiences to their navigation of undergraduate and graduate studies and their career paths in academia and practice. The interviewees represent a cross-section of ethnic and multiracial backgrounds-African American, Jamaican, Indian, Pakistani, Puerto Rican, Dominican, Mexican, and Brazilian. Interwoven throughout the book are a collection of images that maintain cultural significance, from family heirlooms and photos to design works that highlight aspects of their cultural identities. Readers will gain insight into the multitude of experiences from BIPOC design educators who teach and work in the field today.
"[Kelly Walters' s] new, must read book is among the first of a spate of inspiring texts and online conferences that have emerged during the pandemic year and the Black Lives Matter groundswell. Here, Walters takes us on a narrative tour of this very enlightening collection of conversations with more new voices and new eyes on our increasingly diverse design professions. " - PRINT Magazine,
