How do people use designs and technology at different times and in different cultures? How can social and design research contribute to tackling societal challenges? How do user researchers and designers work with stakeholders to co-create new experiences, services or manage change in complex organisations? Drawing on case studies and invited lectures from professionals working in Design and Design related fields, students will develop an understanding of the lives of design researchers working in the public, private and not for profit sectors. Over the course of the module, students will ‘go to the field’ to carry out qualitative interviews with stakeholders and learn to prepare a ‘hot report’ or case study. They will build upon this data to ideate, develop and present a concept for a new or improved experience, service or product in Ireland.
