Design and the Social Sector: An Annotated Bibliography

This bibiography was initiatied by Courtney Drake in 2010, a graduate student at the Yale University School of Management, to survey the literature of social design — the spectrum from design process and thinking to the zones of social innovation. It is the beginning of a larger project by Winterhouse Institute, working with the participants of the Winterhouse Design and Social Change Symposia, to build a bibliography around the practice of social design. The work here was continued by Deirdre Cerminaro, also at Yale School of Management, in 2012. Significant additions by Cerminaro will be added to this post in the coming days.
