Graduate Research Group: Inclusive Design
INCLUSIVE DESIGN is design for all. A global movement that seeks to improve the usability of environments, products, and systems for the widest range of people, it is based on the principles of social justice. Inclusive Design is one of the most important design movements of this era because its emphasis is on empowering the average citizen.
The curriculum includes a sequence of required courses supplemented by electives and workshops that provide both a theoretical and working knowledge of Inclusive Design. Along with a core curriculum, students work with faculty mentors to develop individualized programs of study that reflect their specific interests.
The faculty members in this Graduate Group are associated with the Center for Inclusive Design and Environmental Access (IDEA Center – www.ap.buffalo.edu/idea). The faculty and the IDEA Center have international reputations as leaders in this field, and they provide unparalleled resources to students to help them make the world a better place for all.
