In 2026 we created a Contextmapping Resource Page<\/a> with pointers, videos, and downloads, including a Field Guide for students. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Fall of 2020 we compiled materials with tips on academic writing<\/a>, and reflections on our experiences with bringing the large workshop-based course C&C online<\/a>. Click on the links to get the tips.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research Interests<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The focus of my research is developing tools, techniques, and methods to support design and research, and especially the interaction between design and research. Main elements in this are<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Participation<\/strong><\/em> (the role of non-designers in design processes, especially those traditionally referred to as ‘users’) (e.g., Convivial Toolbox<\/a>), <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research through Design<\/strong><\/em> (the role of designers and design activities within research processes: doing design to create knowledge) (e.g. the Research through Design<\/a> overview chapter in the Encyclopedia of Human-Computer Interaction<\/a>), and my most recent keynote<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visualisation<\/em> <\/strong>(techniques to support understanding through diagrams, storyboards, infographics, video, …) (e.g., the storyboarding card set<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And often these interests intersect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
