Abstract
In track 02, we invited design researchers and educators to explore, and crack open critical design literacy as a subset of design literacy. At the core of critical design... literacy, we suggested the ability to connect to real-world dilemmas with empathy, reject destructive products of human creativity and focus on problems that are worth solving. The main concern of the track is the exploration of current educational practices, academic discourses and implications of design education empowering for critical design literacy at a specific level of education or across levels (kindergarten to PhD).

Track 02: Empowering critical design literacy
In track 02, we invited design researchers and educators to explore, and crack open critical design literacy as a subset of design literacy. At the core of critical design... literacy, we suggested the ability to connect to real-world dilemmas with empathy, reject destructive products of human creativity and focus on problems that are worth solving. The main concern of the track is the exploration of current educational practices, academic discourses and implications of design education empowering for critical design literacy at a specific level of education or across levels (kindergarten to PhD).
