Designing For Cultural Groups And Humanization: Two Ideas From Design Anthropology, Kurt W. Seemann Dec 2014

Designing For Cultural Groups And Humanization: Two Ideas From Design Anthropology, Kurt W. Seemann

Kurt W Seemann

Understanding, using and teaching the link between culture, ecology, and design and technology education can offer a rich and effective strategy for fostering whole student development. This chapter will appeal to educators interested in exploring what a more advanced perspective of design and technology can offer to their students as well as to their own professional enrichment. Where an educational interest lies in how to effectively embrace culture and ecology in design education, the broad field of anthropology presents the most authentic discipline of choice, especially through its sub-discipline of design anthropology. From a hands-on perspective, design anthropologists have been …


Responding To Gendered Dynamics: Experiences Of Women Working Over 25 Years At One University, Ellen Broido, Kirsten R. Brown, Katie Stygles Dec 2014

Responding To Gendered Dynamics: Experiences Of Women Working Over 25 Years At One University, Ellen Broido, Kirsten R. Brown, Katie Stygles

Kirsten R. Brown, Ph.D.

In this feminist, constructivist case study we explored how 28 classified, administrative, and faculty women’s experiences working at one university for 25−40 years have changed. Participants ranged from 45- to 70-years-old at the time of their interview, with more than half older than 60, and 84% identified as White. Women with extended history of service to a single institution provide a unique lens for examining institutional change and gendered structures as they have, in their longevity, thrived or survived. In this article we explore a subset of the findings focused on how women recognize gendered dynamics within the university, and …
