Supporting design research on taboo topics
Isabel Prochner
Syracuse University
Design research and practice are dealing with many new and underexplored topics that may not have been discussed in the past. Yet, many of these topics are still somewhat taboo, meaning that they can miss out on attention and critical exploration and may not be adequately addressed. This conversation explores the barriers faced by design researchers working on taboo topics. Participants will be invited to discuss their experiences related to taboos in design research, including the challenges they’ve encountered, the resources that have helped them, and their thoughts on the support that is still needed. This conversation has potential to inform the work of each participant and is the beginning of a larger discussion on this issue.
