[IRIS] PhD seminar, Designing Human Technologies 9.0, May 29-31, 2023

[Jesper Simonsen]

The ninth PhD seminar, Designing Human Technologies 9.0, will this year be held in Trento, Italy, May 29-31, 2023, organised by University of Trento in collaboration with Tallinn University, University of Roskilde, IT University of Copenhagen and Reykjavik University.

Description and call is available online here: https://dht9.disi.unitn.it/ <https://dht9.disi.unitn.it/>

We meet to discuss our experiences in relation to doctoral work in the rich and diverse field of designing human technologies. The course is a blend of lectures and discussions in small groups. Invited lectures by senior academic staff present key theories, methodological reflections and novel approaches within the field. Discussions will take place in groups with of five doctoral students and two faculty members, discussing the position papers of the students. Group discussions will dedicate one hour to each position paper. And in addition, the course provides opportunities for networking with other doctoral students and senior faculty in the field of designing human technologies, thereby enriching relations among those who also attended last year’s course and providing an entry point for those who did not.

Designing Human Technologies is a broad (participatory) design-oriented research approach with a central human principle of participation and ethical concerns. Common goals of research activities in this field include being constructive and solution-oriented in close dialogue with citizens and users. Deep analysis of how designs are used and enter the daily life of their users as well as innovative design solutions are the core of this course. The human principle includes involving users and main interest groups in the design and evaluation of the ability of design artefacts to meet the goals. Technology is understood in a broad sense including information and communication technologies, sustainable environmental technologies, energy technologies, and technologies for design in urban, nature, or other spatial settings.
