WiD Bibcovers theories including: Intersectionality, Critical Race, Queer, Class, Feminism, Post humanism, Cyberfeminism, Critical Indigenous, National Identity, and two new theories: Disability and Spirituality. It offers expanded Design bibliographies for all sections above, suggesting texts that tackle how and why these theories engage with design.
This report consists of three parts. (1) Introduction: a disclaimer to our work and its limits. (2) A discussion on the relationship between identity theories and the dimensions of identity they aim to elucidate, contest, and contextualize. (3) A bibliography of briefly annotated articles or chapters, organized by the identity topics listed above. We select a few short texts which contextualize the making of each theory, rather than canonical texts by the most prominent authors. These selected texts serve as a reference point to guide exploration of each theory with reference to its historically situated context. Further readings can always be found by reviewing the works cited list of each framework text.
