This event is open for people of color (POC) and white attendees.
As POC design researchers, how do we navigate racist participants and field sites? How do we manage second-hand trauma and survivor's guilt when doing work within our own communities? How do we position ourselves in organizations as advocates for racially diverse users? What do we see as the future of diversity in the user research community and design leadership?
You’ll hear from four design leaders who will share their experiences:
Dr. Chelsea Johnson, Senior UX Researcher at LinkedIn and Author of IntersectionAllies: We Make Room for All
Jazmyn Latimer (@JazmynLatimer), Service Design Director at Code for America
Mithula Naik (@MithulaNaik), Head of Design Research at Canadian Digital Service
You’ll leave with ideas for how to thoughtfully craft your research practices around race and how to better support your POC colleagues in and out of the field.
