Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The following text was commissioned for Urgent Pedagogies in 2021 and was prompted by the initial question from IASPIS to contribute with an issue to the developing Urgent Pedagogies platform. While much has happened since, the argumentation in this text, centred around the limits and possibilities of design as discipline and as areas of expertise in relation to education and pedagogies, is still valid. It is a further elaboration on the ideas in our original reworking of Arjun Appadurai´s 2006 paper, ‘The Right to Research, Globalisation, Societies and Education’ to the Right to design, setting the foundations for the platform. It was through the writing of this text the issues of readership and design literacy were articulated more clearly, issues which have held a prominent position throughout our practice within the platform. Picking up the text again we have also come to realise that this text surely would have been another text if we were to write it now, and maybe we will do a new version in the future. As of now, we have chosen to keep the text in its original form, with minor amendments, hoping it can age gracefully.

Other publication (other academic/artistic)abstract
- In this issue of Urgent Pedagogies, The Right to design, a practice-based research platform run by Onkar Kular and Henric Benesch, is presented. The platform has the dual aim of understanding the entangled historic and present relationship between design and rights and to claim ‘design’ itself as a special kind of right that is accessible beyond class background, gender, ethnicity, age, and disability. The platform currently serves as the base for activities such as assemblies, (mis)readings, broadcasting and educational initiatives with partners inside and outside academia. Contributors include Onkar Kular, Henric Benesch, Arjun Appadurai, Arturo Escobar and Caleb Femi.
