Focus group execution as a step to Integrating Critical Design for Responsible Innovation

The project focuses on integrating critical design methods into the tech development workflow to address ethical concerns and promote inclusivity, diversity, and equity. As an intern, I will contribute to designing focus group questions, conducting focus group sessions, documenting the research group’s activities, and coding data from focus groups. Additionally, I will assist in organizing events such as critical design showcases and will participate in visits from guest lecturers.

Moreover, I will collaborate with the research team on developing educational tools to teach students and tech professionals about responsible innovation and the integration of critical design, contribute to cataloging interdisciplinary critical design projects created by students and faculty in the Critical Media Lab.
