#AFeministFuture : feminist social design pedagogy with a case study about young men in Western Sydney

![CDATA[A brief titled ‘Does Feminism Matter?’ was developed for 3rd year undergraduate visual communication students at Western Sydney University, in Greater Western Sydney, the most culturally diverse region in Australia. The focus of this presentation is on a cross-section of male-identifying students’ responses to this brief underpinned by feminist social design pedagogy. The brief enabled students to explore their own thinking about feminism, as well as their communities, as a starting point to a reciprocal learning experience as social designers and communicators.
