This paper discusses the preliminary findings of an interdisci-plinary research project, situated between Anthropology of Educa-tion, Design, and Gender Studies, that engages in looking at the con-temporary intersectional feminist design pedagogies and explores how they inform design practice towards the otherwise, basing on two case studies. Written in a hybrid form, merging academic writ-ing, and creative non-fiction, this paper presents ethnographic data from the fieldwork. Employing ethnographic methods, in particular, participant observation allows the author to inquire how intersec-tionality can inform design pedagogy. What concepts, ideas, meth-ods, and tools are employed and how they adapt and transform across the two programmes, depending on the cultural, political, spatial and social context on the macro level, and on the personal circumstances and background on the micro-level.
