Anthology Explores Post-Human Design Perspectives for Ecological Challenges

A new anthology titled 'Design Beyond the Human: Transdisciplinary Conversations about the Planet' has been published, edited by Elio Caccavale and Gordon Hush. The collection critiques design's historical complicity with extractive industrial practices and advocates for a shift toward more-than-human perspectives. Contributors include experts in multispecies justice, indigenous design researchers, and scholars who examine topics such as space debris, regenerative farming, and hybrid knowledge systems. The book argues that design must move beyond anthropocentric frameworks to address environmental crises through interdisciplinary dialogue and inclusion of non-human entities.
