Traditionally, design education focuses on what students know and which skills they acquire. This preparation launches them intopredictable roles in well-defined fields. The catch is that such stability is no longer present in today’s economy. As custodians of our disciplines, we are more likely to teach software and history and aesthetics, while neglecting the struggle withidentity and values that is inevitable during the formative years of young adulthood.
