PechaKucha Presentation:
Our practice is due for an update.
As researchers, we practice advocacy on behalf of people impacted by product development decisions.
In a time when many of us are striving for more inclusivity, interrogating our approach to advocacy reveals how we can begin to break down the ways we enable – and could enable – change on behalf of whom we’re researching.
Sparked by the events of 2020, this talk is a reflection on historical and current advocacy practices outside of research. The talk explores why an update to the research practice matters and how we can go about it.
