Critical design and making have received increasing interest within design research and human computer interaction research communities during recent years, while there is a lot of variety within them.
In this talk, Netta will elaborate on this variety as well as offer insights on how the research carried out critical design and making with children in practice.
The experiences are derived from a research project in which we have addressed the problem of bullying in collaboration with children through critical design and making. The research explored approaches such as design fiction, design activism and theatre of the oppressed in collaboration with children in the design process. Insights on the process and outcomes are provided.
This event will be particularly useful for researchers, students and teachers.
