ABSTRACT:

SHADE, Molly (Hach) User-Centered Approaches to Designing Programs, Products, and Processes. This panel explores how user-centered research, reinforced with anthropological theories and methods, effectively produces solutions in programs, products, and processes. We present a collection of five unique case studies including data warehouse construction, mobile community health, environmental and occupational management, Agile software development, and community resilience design. Using these applied projects as a starting point, we intend to stimulate discussion about the many intersections of anthropology and design. 

Session took place in Vancouver, B.C. Canada at the 76th Annual Meeting of the Society for Applied Anthropology, March 29 - April 2, 2016.
