Lisa Maria Marquis encourages us to be better designers by thinking more deeply about the decisions we’re making and their potential for harm.

Highlights include:

⭐ What are some harmful IA decisions that we're making? ⭐ Why is Information Architecture undervalued and under-practiced? ⭐ How do we actively build a safe and trusting relationship with users? ⭐ Why do gender categories cause some people to lose their minds? ⭐ Is it possible for us to completely avoid our work causing harm?
