About the Book:
Antiracist by Design addresses the challenge of creating antiracist behavioral design and successfully implementing solutions. While behavioral science has been celebrated for its potential to design a better world, its color-blind approach has perpetuated unjust systems. With over three decades of collective experience, authors Crystal Hall, an Associate Professor at the University of Washington’s Evans School of Public Policy and Governance, and Mindy Hernandez, the Director of the Living Lab for Equitable Climate Action at the World Resources Institute, expose the consequences of this failure and the dangers of inaction.
This book serves as a call to action, providing tools and a roadmap for an antiracist approach to applied behavioral science. It includes a step-by-step guide to reimagined behavioral design processes, “fan fiction” with antiracist makeovers of classic studies, and a revised behavioral map template that prompts users to consider systemic barriers.
Written for anyone seeking to create a more just world, Hall and Hernandez blend scholarly research with accessible stories—from Mozart and Chris Rock to the TV show Insecure—to illuminate how we can drive racial justice forward. Scholars, students, and NGO program designers alike will benefit from these renovated best practices.
