Human-Centered Futures: Reimagining Design for All
September 17, 2025
10:15 AM to 10:45 AM
GM Auditorium

Dr. Patricia Moore

Dr. Isabel Prochner
As we close a day dedicated to honoring design’s legacy, this powerful conversation invites us to look forward — through the lens of those who’ve redefined what human-centered truly means. Patricia Moore, whose pioneering work reshaped how we understand aging and empathy, joins Dr. Isabel Prochner, a leading voice in socially engaged and gender-equitable design, for a generational dialogue about inclusion, responsibility, and the evolving role of designers in shaping a just world.
Together, they'll explore how the tools and mindsets we inherited can unintentionally reinforce inequity — and how we must reimagine them to truly design for all. With decades of insight and a shared commitment to change, this conversation bridges past and future, legacy and progress.
A thoughtful, energizing close to the day — and a powerful setup for what comes next.
