Politics of the American Domestic Interior

What are the politics of the American domestic interior? How might designers contribute to more equitable futures through interior residential design? Examining issues of race, gender, culture, health, economics, and climate in the domestic realm— drawing from design theory, oral history, and public health research—this paper emerges from a course that was the first in the department to count toward the institution’s social justice minor. The research brings in expanded voices to examine how the design of domestic spaces communicates cultural, social, and economic values.
