Specialties: I investigate culturally specific uses of products ranging from mobile apps to cars, in order to ensure that these products are designed to meet users’ needs. I collaborate with users, designers, and other stakeholder groups in a participatory process of research, design, and social change.I also conduct research on communication and collaboration, such as how groups make decisions in the workplace; I look at both face-to-face and online processes.I was trained as a linguistic anthropologist. After finishing my Ph.D., I worked for E-Lab, a design firm that used anthropological research to develop new product ideas. Here I developed an interest in the emergent field of design anthropology. I was a founding member of the Ethnographic Praxis in Industry Conference (EPIC) steering committee.For more, see my website at https://www.christinawasson.com.
