Participation-based technology development
DESCRIPTION
Every development of technology should be based on human needs. This need can be identified through very different approaches and methodologies throughout the research and design process.
This talk will present different design research projects in which human needs are identified through participatory processes with the outcome of multi-layered technological approaches. It will be shown how common, simply and fast created prototypes can enrich the mutual dialogue and how it helps to deal with increasing complexities.
OUTCOMES
Get inspired by different design research projects in which human needs are identified through participatory processes

Find out how participatory research processes unravel complexity
FORMAT
The talk will happen live via Zoom.

Meet the speaker
Jennifer Schubert (Germany) is Professor in Participatory Design at Hochschule Augsburg. As a design researcher, she explores the intersection between technology, participation and collectivity. Her research interests range from digital inclusion to globalised networks and boundary objects.
Since 2011, she has been working in initiative-led and community-based research projects, in rural as well as urban spaces, locally anchored with a global perspective. Most recently, she was a postdoctoral researcher and lecturer at the Free University of Bolzano/Italy in the field of Social Interaction Design. She studied design strategy, service design, design concepts at KISD (Cologne) and Parsons (New York). She taught design research modules in Dessau (MA Integrated Design/MAID), Wuppertal (MA for Strategic Product & Innovation Development) and Cologne (BA/MA Integrated Design).
