Friday, September 13, 2019, 11:00 AM-12:30 PM, Room 145 ComArtSci
Abstract: In this talk, Dr. Lampe will describe the Citizen Interaction Design program, which partners with Michigan cities to conduct user experience research projects, connect students to information problems in civic contexts, and implements civic technology for a broad range of civic problems. Dr. Lampe will discuss the structure of this program, several projects that have been done in cities like Jackson, Detroit and Lansing, as well as the pedagogical outcomes of the work. Finally, he will connect this program to HCI research more broadly, and discuss next stages of this program.
