Abstract:
"The relationship between ethnography and Participatory Design has a long, complicated, and contested history. Questions have been raised about whether the sensibilities, commitments, and requirements of design and of ethnography are aligned both practically and philosophically. In this talk I will discuss various approaches that have been developed to connect ethnography and design with attention to the similarities and incongruities between Participatory Design and ethnography. I will conclude with thoughts about the challenges and opportunities ahead for the next generation of participatory designers."
