Sociolinguistics, Design Research, and You: How to Languate Gooder
Join me to explore the intersection of sociolinguistics - that is, how and why we talk the way we do - and design research. Learn how applying core concepts from sociolinguistics can improve the way you conduct your work. Have you ever thought about...
- How the way you sound, and the words you use, might influence a research participant’s responses during testing?
- How our experiences and cultural backgrounds, and those of our research participants, influence the collection and analysis of research data because of the way we speak?
- Getting ‘meta’ for a moment - how we as a design research community communicate what we do - and how we may inadvertently exclude others through the language we use, turning people away from our cause?
