Design and Solidarity: Conversations on Collective Futures
By Rafi Segal, associate professor of architecture, and Marissa Morán Jahn SM '07
Columbia University Press · 2023
The authors converse about the transformative potential of mutualism and design with leading thinkers and practitioners. Together, they consider how design inspires, invigorates, and sustains contemporary forms of mutualism - including platform cooperatives, digital-first communities, emerging currencies, mutual aid, care networks, social-change movements, and more. From these dialogues emerge powerful visions of futures guided by communal self-determination and collective well-being.
