A Widening Rift between Aesthetics and Ethics in the Design of Computational Things
Designing and Evaluating Calmer, a Device for Simulating Maternal Skin-to-Skin Holding for Premature Infants
While I was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of British Columbia I had the pleasure to work with Liisa Holsti and Karon MacLean as well as other project collaborators on the project Calmer. I lead the writing of this paper we published at the CHI2020 conference and it even received a Best Paper Award.
An Annotated Portfolio on Doing Postphenomenology Through Research Products
In this paper, we argue for framing the crafting and studying of research products as doing philosophy through things. We do this by creating an annotated portfolio of such Research through Design (RtD) artifact inquiries as postphenomenological inquiries. …
