About the course
The course takes Service Design as its point of departure and seeks to develop students’ capabilities and criticality when it comes to interaction design at large, including:
1. Methodology
2. Reflecting on the ethical implications of interaction design as embedded in societies
3. Engaging with stakeholders
This course is offered as part of programme:
Course content
In this course, we will critically reflect on our position and behaviour as interaction designers in and across diverse communities. We will plan, adapt, perform, and critically examine methodologies for engaging with others in challenging situations.
The scope includes design methodology as well as the designed artifacts themselves, drawing on de-colonising and feminist approaches. Practically, a design project with external stakeholders serves as a foundation for learning activities.
Entry requirements
At least 45 credits in the main field of Interaction Design.
