Trauma-Informed Research And Planning: Understanding Government And Urban Native Community Partnerships To Addressing Substance-Exposed Pregnancies In Portland, Or, Amanda Mercier
Dissertations and Theses
In 2011, representatives from the Multnomah County Health Departments and several Native-serving organizations came together to address substance-exposed pregnancies among urban Native Americans in Portland, Oregon. From these partnerships, the Future Generations Collaborative was formed representing a significant shift toward community-led maternal child health research and planning. Additionally, the Future Generations Collaborative adopted a historical trauma-informed community based participatory research and planning process. This is particularly significant considering government agencies' role in colonization within Native communities. The purpose of this case study is to explore partnerships between government agencies and the Portland Native community within the Future Generations Collaborative. Given …

The Qmra Wiki: A Social Media Tool For Interdisciplinary And Interagency Collaboration For Quantitative Microbial Risk Assessment, Jade Mitchell, Mark H. Weir, Wietske Van Osch, Joan Rose
International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software
This study presents a web-based social media system that supports quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA) and collaboration among interdisciplinary scientists and interagency stakeholders, namely the QMRA wiki. The QMRA wiki is intended to aid the development of risk assessments by providing a collection of raw data, models and calculators as well as a platform for exchange and cross-fertilization between the QMRA community and its stakeholders. The wiki is organized around the exploration of the QMRA paradigm including the following five components: hazard identification, dose-response assessment, exposure assessment, risk characterization and risk management. Additionally, the wiki houses a number of case …

A review of Shane Rhodes' X: Poems & Anti-Poems. This review focuses on the link between language and landscape, and considers the ways in which that link, reflected in Rhodes' work, comments upon the use of language as an oppressive tool in the treatment of Native Americans and Canadians.
Experience Design Framework For Securing Large Scale Information And Communication Systems, Azadeh Nematzadeh, Omar Sosa-Tzec
Experience Design Framework For Securing Large Scale Information And Communication Systems, Azadeh Nematzadeh, Omar Sosa-Tzec
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Securing Information and Communication Systems (ICSs) is a highly complex process due in large part to the feedback relationship that holds between the users and the system and its ‘ecosystem’ of usage. Such a relationship is critical for experience designers. The design of secure systems can thereby be enhanced by using principles from disciplines where similar relations hold, such as security engineering and adaptive systems. In this work, we propose a user experience design framework based on six principles and use a social networking system as an example of its application. The proposed design principles are grounded in complex systems …
Examining Intuitive Navigation In Airports, Andrew Cave, Alethea Blackler, Vesna Popovic, Ben Kraal
Examining Intuitive Navigation In Airports, Andrew Cave, Alethea Blackler, Vesna Popovic, Ben Kraal
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Airports accommodate passengers with a range of prior experience, from frequent flyers, to passengers who fly every couple of years, to those who have never flown before. Passengers with varying levels of prior experience may use different visual elements when navigating the airport. Ensuring all passengers can navigate to the processing activities intuitively is important for passengers, airports and airlines. This paper examines how participants with Low, Medium and High airport familiarity navigate through the departures area at an Australian international airport. Three navigation activities are investigated (i) navigating to the check-in row, (ii) navigating through the Liquids, Aerosols and …
Agency, Context And Meaning: The Humanities And Design, Mads Nygaard Folkmann
Agency, Context And Meaning: The Humanities And Design, Mads Nygaard Folkmann
DRS Biennial Conference Series
The paper is a meta-discursive contribution to the discussion of how design can be understood as a medium of meaning formation and the questioning of meaning. Further, the paper makes a plea for the role of the humanities in formulating relevant questions in design through a conceptualization of the nature and scope of design. Three fundamental approaches to understanding design from the perspective of the humanities will be proposed: 1) The question of agency in design, i.e. what the role and agency of design can be conceived as in human life, which can be addressed in the historical perspective of …
How To Interest People For The Hare Instead Of The Chase, An Exploration Of Open Script Design To Change Consumer Behaviour, Liesbeth Stam, Wouter Eggink
How To Interest People For The Hare Instead Of The Chase, An Exploration Of Open Script Design To Change Consumer Behaviour, Liesbeth Stam, Wouter Eggink
DRS Biennial Conference Series
In this paper we raise the question: does our consumer behaviour make us happy? The infinite source of consumer desires seems to be the justification of an ever increasing amount of products that inundate our lives. Consumption itself is set free from any functional bond, bringing our current consumption levels to the point that it is ecologically destructive and unsustainable. By examining philosophical theories of well-being we argue that consumer satisfaction does not of necessity lead to happiness, and we reach the conclusion that it is in the act of appropriation -fitting the acquired artefacts into our lives- that consumption …
Archaeology Of The Future Reconsidering The Place And Nature Of Trend Forecasting In Design Discourse, Elisabeth Petermann
Archaeology Of The Future Reconsidering The Place And Nature Of Trend Forecasting In Design Discourse, Elisabeth Petermann
DRS Biennial Conference Series
This paper examines the place of trend forecasting in current design debates concerning the varying notion of design being a change agent and crafting the future, in order to point to a limited understanding of trend forecasting within these debates. Moreover, the paper indicates research gaps in the rare examinations of the phenomenon of trend forecasting. It is almost as if trend forecasting is an invisible force and an intangible phenomenon. Its directive power remains unrecognized and therefore under-conceptualized in design discourse. The practice is considered as commercial and thus unworthy for academic attention. Therefore this paper illustrates briefly the …
Space-And-Place Modelling-And-Making: A Dialogue Between Design And Geography, Robert Harland, Maria Loschiavo Dos Santos
Space-And-Place Modelling-And-Making: A Dialogue Between Design And Geography, Robert Harland, Maria Loschiavo Dos Santos
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Geography and design have much in common. Both draw from or reflect science, social science, humanities, and employ sophisticated technology to achieve their aims. However, aside from a mutual interest in urbanism, there appears to have be little collaboration between the two. And yet some aspire for design to learn from geography. In this paper we explore how the characteristics associated with geography and design may function together in a space-and-place modelling-and-making dialectic.
Design Effectiveness: Building Customer Satisfaction And Loyalty Through Design, Ki Woong Nam, Bruce W. Carnie
Design Effectiveness: Building Customer Satisfaction And Loyalty Through Design, Ki Woong Nam, Bruce W. Carnie
DRS Biennial Conference Series
The contribution of design is regarded as one of the most crucial factors in business. However, there remains ambiguity about how design affects the building of customer satisfaction and loyalty. Furthermore, in terms of any business situation, the output of design efforts and investment should arguably be greater than management expect in order to be recognised as a worthy investment. This paper presents a novel combined conceptual framework of the design audit and value typology. By employing design embedded business theories, design value can be both assessed. Taking Freeman’s stakeholder theory and conflating this with Holbrook’s typology of value, a …
Airport Security Screeners Expertise And Implications For Interface Design, Levi Swann, Vesna Popovic, Alethea Blackler, Ben Kraal
Airport Security Screeners Expertise And Implications For Interface Design, Levi Swann, Vesna Popovic, Alethea Blackler, Ben Kraal
DRS Biennial Conference Series
This paper describes research investigating expertise and the types of knowledge used by airport security screeners. It applies a multi method approach incorporating eye tracking, concurrent verbal protocol and interviews. Results show that novice and expert security screeners primarily access perceptual knowledge and experience little difficulty during routine situations. During non-routine situations however, experience was found to be a determining factor for effective interactions and problem solving. Experts were found to use strategic knowledge and demonstrated structured use of interface functions integrated into efficient problem solving sequences. Comparatively, novices experienced more knowledge limitations and uncertainty resulting in interaction breakdowns. These …
A Framework Of Ethical Nudges In The Design Of Consumer Goods, Anders Haug, Jacob Busch
A Framework Of Ethical Nudges In The Design Of Consumer Goods, Anders Haug, Jacob Busch
DRS Biennial Conference Series
This paper focuses on the use of nudging in the design of consumer goods. This perspective is different from most existing nudging literature, which tends to focus on nudging as a tool for policy makers. The change of focus to consumer goods has some implications in relation to existing classifications of nudging, namely that the nontransparent aspect of some types of nudges becomes less relevant. Instead this paper introduces a distinction of the nudging ability of a product as decisive or non-decisive for a purchase decision. This dimension is combined with a dimension from an existing framework to produce four …
A Design Process Based On Field Research: An Adjustable Desk For Children In Rural India, Youngchan Jeong, Sumi Kim, Joongseek Lee
A Design Process Based On Field Research: An Adjustable Desk For Children In Rural India, Youngchan Jeong, Sumi Kim, Joongseek Lee
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Learning is an essential element for social, cultural, and economic growth in developing countries. Effective learning requires education materials like desks, books, and writing instruments. However, most students in developing countries do not have sufficient access to these basic materials. This research examines desk designs for children in developing countries that are having trouble in learning due to lacking education materials. We conducted field research in the West Bengal region of India over the past three years. The study was performed using human centered design (HCD) toolkit developed by IDEO. Because entire families were living together in a single small …
Making The Case: Collaborative Concept Development Of Products And Services For A New Design Museum, Louise Valentine, Joanna Bletcher, Saskia Coulson
Making The Case: Collaborative Concept Development Of Products And Services For A New Design Museum, Louise Valentine, Joanna Bletcher, Saskia Coulson
DRS Biennial Conference Series
This paper describes the role practice-‐led research has played in identifying an opportunity for innovative organizational progress (for a globally recognized museum), and discusses one role of practice-‐led research in product and service development for the new business. It looks at why collaborative research is employed to explore concept development, how this is being investigated and what the insights thus far indicate. Two projects are discussed, one in the area of curatorial practice for communicating design and craft innovation and, the other in the design of residency programmes in terms of nurturing innovation in design and craft practices. The design …
What Can Urbanism Be? Problematizing The Design Of Cities, Aseem Inam
What Can Urbanism Be? Problematizing The Design Of Cities, Aseem Inam
DRS Biennial Conference Series
In this paper, I highlight a number of different ways of defining and describing the field conventionally known as urban design, which I problematize by broadening, deepening, and calling urbanism and which I re-define as city-design-and-building processes and their spatial products. These ways include morphological definitions, as a default focus, as the keeper of the public realm, through lists of categories, as a map of bodies of knowledge, as a field of research, as different modes of practice, via models for understanding and making cities, and practical “how-to” approaches such as best practices. I describe and critique each of these …
Communication Design As An Agent In Creating Gender Equality In India, Nicola St John
Communication Design As An Agent In Creating Gender Equality In India, Nicola St John
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Developing from the field of behavior change through design, this study investigated if communication design is an effective tool in changing cultural behaviors and perceptions of gender in India. Previous studies on gender violence campaigns (Gadornski, 2001; Murphy, 2009; Kostick et al., 2011) suggest utilising men and traditional gender stereotypes are effective in creating behavior change. Yet there exists a gap on specific cultural roles and changing ingrained behaviors. This study focuses on the necessary recognition of cultural traditions and behaviours that must precede any design activity within an epistemological setting. Developing communication strategy within sensitive and complex social issues …
The Reappearing Computer: The Past And Future Of Computing In Design Research, Simone Gristwood, Stephen Boyd Davis
The Reappearing Computer: The Past And Future Of Computing In Design Research, Simone Gristwood, Stephen Boyd Davis
DRS Biennial Conference Series
This paper investigates the early history of computing in design and in design research, focusing on individuals who were associated with the Department of Design Research at the Royal College of Art between the 1960s and the 1980s. The authors suggest that the theory and practice developed at that time may be valuable in thinking about the future, particularly when considering how computing may be used, in various forms, by designers in their work. A taxonomy of some early ideas and activities is presented which, it is suggested, displays a different emphasis from the way computing in design is conceived …
Social Implication Design (Sid) – A Design Method To Exploit The Unique Value Of The Artefact To Counteract Social Problems, Nynke Tromp, Paul Hekkert
Social Implication Design (Sid) – A Design Method To Exploit The Unique Value Of The Artefact To Counteract Social Problems, Nynke Tromp, Paul Hekkert
DRS Biennial Conference Series
The role of design in changing people’s behaviour and causing social implications has been referred to as an inherent aspect of design. In taking responsibility for this influence of design, emphasis is often placed on the prevention of undesired consequences rather than the realization of desired ones. Little research exists on how to exploit this implicit yet inevitable role of design in the social realm. This paper presents the development of a method to help designers in exploiting this influence of design to realize social benefit. We explain how design is part of the ‘choice architecture’ in social dilemmas and …
Designing For Democracy: Using Design Activism To Renegotiate The Roles And Rights For Patients, Eva Knutz, Thomas Markussen, Signe Mårbjerg Thomsen, Jette Ammentorp
Designing For Democracy: Using Design Activism To Renegotiate The Roles And Rights For Patients, Eva Knutz, Thomas Markussen, Signe Mårbjerg Thomsen, Jette Ammentorp
DRS Biennial Conference Series
In this paper we focus on ‘patient-democracy’ and ‘shared decision-making’ seen from the perspective of design practice and design research. In the research on democracy in healthcare it is rarely questioned what forms of democracy underlies these concepts. We have examined three different theories of democracy and the democratic practices that belong to each of these. For designers working to increase patient democracy it is of vital importance to be able to distinguish different structures underlying democratic practices and to work out methods for prototyping democracy. In design research there are already a number of approaches available which in one …
The Use Of Grounded Theory In User Experience Based Design Research: A Study On "Automobile Modification" In Turkey, Selen Devrim Ülkebaş
The Use Of Grounded Theory In User Experience Based Design Research: A Study On "Automobile Modification" In Turkey, Selen Devrim Ülkebaş
DRS Biennial Conference Series
In today’s so called post-industrial societies, increasing influence of the symbolic use of object overwhelmingly dominates the relationship between human and object. As objects have become an important part of individual’s social and psychological world, qualitative research approaches aiming to gather a deep understanding of human behavior and experiences have gained importance not only in the disciplines of social sciences but also in design related disciplines. Grounded Theory is one of the qualitative research approaches aiming to discover and uncover the experiences and interactions of people "grounded" in everyday life practices and generate theories regarding social phenomena. Although Grounded theory …
Privilege And Oppression: Towards A Feminist Speculative Design, Luiza Prado De O. Martins
Privilege And Oppression: Towards A Feminist Speculative Design, Luiza Prado De O. Martins
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Though critical and speculative design have been increasingly relevant in discussing the social and cultural role of design, there has been a distinct lack of both theory and praxis aimed at questioning gender oppression. Departing from an intersectional feminist analysis of the influences and origins of speculative and critical design, this essay questions the underlying privilege that has been hindering the discussion on gender within the discipline and its role in propagating oppression; it then goes on to propose the concept of a “feminist speculative design” as an approach aimed at questioning the complex relationships between gender, technology and social …
Matrix Method: Looking As Generator For Creativity, Thierry Lagrange
Matrix Method: Looking As Generator For Creativity, Thierry Lagrange
DRS Biennial Conference Series
The central theme of the research project presented in this paper is the act of looking at the way a person is looking. An essential part of this investigation concerns the development of a creative method; the Matrix Method. This method makes use of ‘matrices’ as tools to generate experiences and creative ideas by using the look as a layered way of acting. With this method we develop tools for collaboration, so that people can solve the types of problems that are characteristic of their domain or discipline. This might be architectural design, but we have also tackled communication, acting …
