Presenter: Dr. Elizabeth "Dori" Tunstall (Stanford PhD 1999) is a distinguished design anthropologist, celebrated author, visionary organizational design leader, consultant, and coach. As the renowned author of "Decolonizing Design: A Cultural Justice Guidebook," she is a path-breaker of progressive approaches that challenge conventional design paradigms that exclude and harm Indigenous cultures in order to decolonize them and champion diversity, equity, and inclusivity practices in communities and organizations.​

With a global career encompassing an Associate Professor of Design Anthropology at the University of Illinois at Chicago and Swinburne University in Australia, respectively, Dori made history as the first black and black female Dean of a Design Faculty anywhere at OCAD University in Toronto, Canada. Her accomplishments have been recognized with numerous prestigious awards, notably the 2022 Sir Misha Black Award for Distinguished Service to Design Education, the inaugural BADG of Honour for Design Education from the Black Artists and Designers Guide, and the 2023 SEGD Excellence in Design Education Award. Dori's profound commitment to making an expansive impact beyond academia has recently led her to establish Dori Tunstall, Inc., a firm dedicated to decolonizing and diversifying institutional processes for companies and organizations through corporate education, executive coaching, and strategic consulting.

Just Communities is a Bold Reimagination of How Communities Grow
At PSE, we focus on places where the inseparable forces of racial and environmental injustice persist- places that Black and historically disinvested communities of color have occupied but have not flourished, and places around the world stunted by a dearth of economic mobility and extraction.

Our work was born out of the movement for racial justice in the American South, but we are connected by our history, our pain, and our promise to all communities. Together, we can make a global paradigm shift towards new forms of equitable and regenerative land, property, infrastructure, real estate, and community development

WE OPERATE ON RADICAL TRUTH AND UNDERSTANDING OF HISTORY.
