Our expert panelists will discuss the tragic history of AAPI discrimination in America, focusing on the intersectionality of misogyny and racism among AAPI women. Learn about how our local Asian business community fared over the past year while national figures spewed dangerous and racially motivated rhetoric to scapegoat Asian Americans. Most importantly, learn what you can do to support AAPI businesses and embrace the entire community during AAPI Heritage Month in May.

Design@Large is a speaker series that is hosted by the Design Lab at UCSD, where each quarter we examine a topic in society and the relevance and implications through the lens of human centered design.

Co-hosted by Elizabeth Eikey and Edward Wang and developed in partnership with Carrie Sawyer of Diversity by Design, Design@Large this quarter is a continuation of Winter 2021. the focus is racism in the design of everyday things across a range of topics, such as artificial intelligence, healthcare, advertising, and more. Talks will help shed light on the historical context of racism, the consequences of “designing” without understanding racism’s deep roots, and provide examples of anti-racist and equitable approaches in practice. Too often we want to jump straight to action, but without building our capacity to understand racism (and other “isms”) and critically evaluating its impact, we perpetuate racism and inequity - even with the best intentions. Through an exciting lineup of speakers, this series begins to make connections between history and designing and aims to promote awareness around the lifelong practice of anti-racist work across a variety of interconnected domains.

Lawrence C. Reardon meticulously traces the evolution of the coastal development strategy, starting with special economic zones in 1979 and evolving into the fourteen open coastal cities, the Hainan SEZ, and eventual accession to the global trade regime in 2001. Reardon details how Deng Xiaoping and Zhao Ziyang tackled large-scale smuggling operations, compromised with Chen Yun’s conservative views, and overcame Deng Liqun’s ideological opposition.

Although Zhao Ziyang was airbrushed out of official Chinese history after June 4, 1989, Reardon argues that Zhao was the true architect of China’s opening strategy. Readon’s new book, “A Third Way: the Origins of China’s Current Economic Development Strategy,” provides important new insights about the crucial period of the 1980s and how it paved the way for China’s transformation into a global economic superpower.
