What Did People Wear to the March for Science?: Social Change and Design Education

How does fashion design reflect on the world and connect with our society? During the March for Science 2017, tens of thousands of people conveyed abundant messages and opinion with diverse expressional methods. They wanted to humanize science, to respect diversity in our society, and to solve the problems alternatively. The purpose of the research is to address the value of cross-sectional teaching and researching in fashion design education toward making a better world through reviewing the role of dress in the March for Science. This study will suggest a future direction for design education to integrate diverse issues into fashion design curricula with community-based participatory research (CBPR). The research questions for the study are: 1) What is the role of dress in the March for Science? 2) How can design activities improve society? 3) What is the role of design educators to make a better world?
