N2 - The remarkable capacity of the human mind to travel through time and space enables us to think about our futures often. However, when analyzing complex problems towards justice-oriented futures, our methodological toolbox still has limitations. We draw from the processes of design thinking as a way to address wicked problems entangled in higher education injustices and inequities. In design thinking, the 'problem' phase is arguably one of the most challenging, yet critical phases. If a problem is ill-defined, then ideation of any possible future is constrained. We explore two innovative strategies to generate deeper problematizing for design thinking with multidisciplinary university students: an anti-goal strategy and the '7-problems-with-problems' strategy. In this preliminary analysis, we discuss the potential implications of the two strategies on design principles to support generative processes of problematizing for justice-oriented futures.
