The Radical Inclusive Attitudes (RIA) is a new concept developed in parallel with the DesIA research project.
It explores what are the radical attitudes that in certain contexts are needed to create conditions for inclusion, as well as for promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in front of complexities such as those related to immigration, gender-based violence, poverty, and social discrimination issues. The
Radical Inclusive Attitudes (RIA) is also a collective of design researchers that forms a working group of the
DesIA Community. This collective was formed during a design research conference where the principal investigator of DesIA project presented the early research works on the Design for Inclusive Attitudes (DxIA) approach. A workshop developed at this conference, and the growing discourses that emerged from the conference meetings, allowed the shaping of the
RIA collective.
As a consequence, the collective started working on this concept by expanding the research of the DesIA project towards new edges and opportunities. As an intermediate result of the RIA collective, the first paper has been done in a few months. We are presenting the paper at Cumulus 2024 Conference in Budapest (see Busciantella-Ricci, et al., 2024).
