Excited that this book ‘Cross-cultural Design for Healthy Ageing’ which has been many years in the making, is finally publishing on Dec 28. I’ve written a chapter on cross-cultural empathy in complex design challenges with a focus in health. The framework can be used in intercultural collaborations, cross-cultural student teams and design in complex or global challenges.

In what has been a challenging year, where we have seen climate change, a global pandemic, health and mental health challenges, racism and inequities, I hope this will be useful, in developing better understanding in collaboration, deeper listening to move toward a brighter future for all.
