ACDHT 2025 OSAKA calls for research on 'design and power'.

Design plays a significant role in shaping our world and influencing power dynamics. It can be a powerful and/or empowering tool for promoting peace and human welfare, as well as for local and global conflicts. The examples such as political posters, war propaganda materials, monuments, town planning and medical design, highlight how design can be used to either challenge or reinforce existing power structures, or to empower human well-being.

By exploring the relationship between design and power in the widest sense, we can gain a deeper understanding of how design influences political, economic, social, and cultural dynamics. Research on topics like design and peace, design and war, propaganda, -isms, class systems, geography, power balance in design industries, empowerment (in care and welfare), and the role of designers as workers, can provide valuable insights into the impact of design on society.
