#Book15 is “Chocolate Cities: The Black Map of American Life” (2018) by Marcus Anthony Hunter and Zandria F. Robinson. If you want to dig into culture work this is your book. It’s brilliant, creative, and thought-provoking. Hunter and Robinson present America through the multi-faceted lens of Blackness and in the process of telling this story of past, present, and future, they meld together different fields of study such as sociology, geography, history, urban planning, musicology, and more. I especially love the music references. There’s everything from Parliament Funkadelic to Gladys Knight to Tupac. This is the kind of insightful, engaging work you want to see out of academia. More of this, please! (Also, they both have other books that you should read too!) #DemetriaReads #BHM #BlackHistoryMonth #SupportIndieBookstores #SupportLibraries #BlackWritersofInstagram #BlackWriters #Academia #BlackAmerica #Sociology UCLA University of California Press

Or by DESIGN: As Don Henley of the Eagles once said in a "60 Minutes" interview, "I always knew I wanted to hear myself on the radio." My guest in this episode, the University of Connecticut Sociology professor Bradley Wright, digs into design when he talks about how you can deliberately investigate, shape, and enact possibilities in your life. And he shows us how to do that in a step-by-step approach in his new book on purpose, THE PURPOSE JOURNAL. It's a thought-provoking conversation for the designers among us, and especially for those who turn around and wonder, "Now, how did I get here? Join us: https://bit.ly/3JlebvA

Another gob-smacking adplist.org webinar with human-centred design pioneer, Don Norman. This talk was a clarion call to make things better for people and the planet. To be a cognitive science aficionado you need to have an understanding of psychology, philosophy, politics, history and sociology. I found being a geek in those topics, and absorbing culture, made me a better copywriter. #contentdesign #contentstrategy #userexperience #behaviouralscience
