| 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.
