Dear colleagues, dear students, As part of her tour through Germany and Austria, Professor Robyn Clay-Williams (Macquarie University, Australia) will visit Aachen to deliver an inspiring seminar and an interactive workshop on: “We are all individuals: considering user diversity in design” 📅 May 12, 2025 🕙 10:00–11:30 (Seminar) 🕑 14:00–15:30 (Workshop) 📍 Forum M, Mayersche Buchhandlung, Buchkremerstraße 1-7, 52062 Aachen Abstract: Did you know that women involved in car crashes face a significantly higher risk of fatal injuries than men? Or that some touchless soap dispensers fail to recognize people of color? These are just two striking examples of how neglecting diversity in design can have harmful, even life-threatening, consequences. Despite these serious implications, many groups in our society remain an afterthought in product design — if they are considered at all. As current and future designers, we must recognize this issue and equip ourselves with the tools to address it. And who better to learn from than an expert in the field? We are delighted to invite researchers and students at all career levels to join us in learning from one of the leading experts in the field. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to gain knowledge and explore practical tools and strategies for more user diversity in design! Registration: - Seminar: https://events.hifis.net/event/2261/ - Workshop: https://events.hifis.net/event/2269/ Professor Robyn Clay-Williams will also be visiting TU Darmstadt and TU Wien. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at: office@ssd.rwth-aachen.de <mailto:office@ssd.rwth-aachen.de>. We look forward to seeing many of you there!
