Design can promote healing in healthcare environments, contribute to mental health, reduce gun violence, and positively impact health and racial equity, all of which contribute to a more peaceful world, says Mardelle McCuskey Shepley, emerita professor in the Department of Human Centered Design and Emerita Director of the Cornell Institute for Healthy Futures. 

Join us for a live, hybrid, Chats in the Stacks book talk where Shepley will discuss her latest publication, Peace by Design (Routledge, 2025). The book embraces a wide range of perspectives from the fields of graphic design, industrial design, fashion design, interior design, architecture, landscape architecture, environmental psychology, and urban design. The focus on profound impacts serves to both inspire young designers and design researchers to achieve their maximum societal contributions and support experienced designers seeking reaffirmation of their social goals.
