Here in Part 2 of this roundtable discussion on race and design, designers Spencer Nugent, Jasmine Kent and Kevin Bethune start with the question "Do you feel there is diversity in the design field?" and reveal what their academic experiences were like. From learning about design "late," to being the only black person in the room, to questioning their own identity, all three reveal the similarities and differences in their design upbringings. Hosted by design professor Hector Silva.
