Despite increasingly interacting with technology in our everyday lives, the design of technology does not always reflect our diversity as users. As the study of human diversity, anthropology provides a framework to question assumptions about the uniformity of cultural experience. In this course, we apply anthropology to study user experience in order to propose ways to make technologies more inclusive and culturally sensitive. We will read ethnographies of technology and speak with tech industry professionals who use anthropological methods. Students will apply what they learn by conducting user experience research and designing for diversity in Carleton’s IdeaLab.
