The Design Justice and Ethics (DJE) SIG builds awareness of justice and ethics in design.
The Design Justice and Ethics (DJE) SIG builds awareness of justice and ethics in design. Grounded in design theory and methodology, and the history of philosophy, it explores and extends justice and ethics through design education, research, and practice. As designers and engineers seek to understand not only how to design technologies but how to study the impact of these technologies, this SIG seeks to support understanding the ethical and social impact of engineered technologies.
The DJE SIG enables people to reflect on the implications and opportunities of design choices for human and non-human communities. We welcome members from all parts of the design world, and we hope to foster dialogue between those who are knowledgeable and interested in design, justice and ethics, more broadly. As part of the SIG, we will host workshops at conferences and beyond, as well as have special editions of journals to foster and disseminate work in this area.

We provide a space for individuals with common interests to share knowledge, collaborate, and address challenges in their domain. We also encourage networking, and partnerships across academia, industry, and practice.
They focus on advancing knowledge in specific fields by organising research activities, developing best practices, and publishing findings. They can contribute to thought leadership by defining emerging trends and proposing frameworks or methodologies.
SIGs often organise workshops, webinars, and conferences to educate members on new tools, techniques, and advancements in their area of focus.
They offer mentoring, knowledge-sharing sessions, and access to expertise, helping members grow professionally.
SIGs create a sense of belonging for members, encouraging dialogue and collaboration on shared challenges and innovations.
We have a wide array of SIGs, that are constantly evolving. If you don't see a SIG in your research area, why not create one? The Design Society is open to proposals and may provide funding!
