Research through Design as a 'Rapid Response Methodology'

Workshop paper speculating about the meta role of Research through Design and Design Research

Dr Joseph Lindley 18 Jun 2024

I recently presented a short position paper - Research through Design as a ‘Rapid Response Methodology’ for exploring Child-AI Entanglements - to a wonderful workshop that was hosted at the Interaction Design and Children conference.

The position is based on our work with Ryelands AI Lab and fleshes out how and why Research through Design can be a really powerful method for making sense of rapidly changing and entangled socio-technical situations, particularly when time is of the essence.
