A six-part seminar series by Bruce Mau
The combination of Bruce Mau’s design vision and the Dahdaleh Institute’s approach to critical problem solving for greater effectiveness, equity, and excellence in global health research is Massive Action: Global Health Design.
In this series of seminars, Dahdaleh Institute community fellow and visionary designer, author, educator, and artist Bruce Mau will discuss how design methodology is critical to the conversation around global health.
Through a series of seminars with specific research projects as case studies, we will explore four areas of focus — youth education, the One Health approach, water safety optimization, and artificial intelligence — looking at them as design opportunities. We will learn how Mau’s MC24 Principles for LIFE-CENTRED DESIGN can be applied to address the most pressing challenges of our time and see how they are specifically relevant to designing global health.
Mau will demonstrate that design offers a powerful methodology of optimism at a time when mindset and outlook will be critical, not only to our collective success but also to the wellbeing of individual healthcare workers operating under the most challenging conditions in human history.
