Love your Rage Not your Cage

Using our sense of anger at injustice and unfairness to build a better world. Showing the impact we can have as designers of services and experiences when we build in rage.

What is the cage? Built of Normativity, reinforced by capitalism, and our fear of change.

Our rage? We are dismissed, ignored and trapped.

How do we make an actual difference? Examples from 30 years in making Products “suck just a little bit less”

About the speaker:

Out as Non-Binary GenderQueer for over 15 years, Dr J has been bringing queer theory (with a slice of humour) into the tech space, with a dedication to inclusivity and intersectionality. Dr J takes a strategic view of cultural change in Technology through a few lenses, Service Design, Business Analysis, and notably queer theory.

This combines well with their years of experience using agile processes to build software and a talent for really understanding clients – looking at the problems they are solving and how to make great teams to deliver real value.

Their passion? How you can do things better with just simple changes.

They have a TEDx talk “Inclusive Teams Deliver”, and have keynoted at both Tech and Diversity conferences speaking on things like “Why your team has never, and will never, hire me”, and “Public systems that last – planning for 2050; or How to manage your crocodile”
