Gästföreläsningar i informatik fredag 9/12
Två professorer föreläser om olika aspekter utifrån ämnet Participatory design.
Fredagen den 9 december klockan 9-12 i sal D1170A i Växjö äger två föreläsningar under temat Participatory design rum.
Participatory Design and Ethics
Professor Ina Wagner, Vienna University of Technology
Abstract: This lecture explores a range of different approaches to ethics and their relevance to Participatory Design as background to the ethical issues of designing with users. It highlights the strong connections between ethical practices in design, the inclusiveness of the design processes, the choice of design methods and the responsibilities and accountabilities of those participating. An overview of different approaches to ethics is followed by an exploration of the ethical issues of working with users, as well as ethical issues of designing for and within use.
Participatory Design Methods: Principles and Challenges
Professor Tone Bratteteig, Oslo University
Abstract: The lecture starts with describing basic principles of participatory design (PD): having a say (participation), mutual learning, and co‐realisation. A conceptual framework for characterizing PD methods is introduced and used for discussing how PD supports design according to these principles. The second part of the lecture discusses some of the challenges to PD posed by present technology and society, changing the area and scope of the PD process. Some PD research projects that address these challenges are discussed.
