From Empathy to Vulnerability - Exploring Design Researchers' Vulnerability in Working in Sensitive Settings.

Press/Media: Public Engagement

Description

A workshop at Dutch Design Week, 2025, exploring design researchers' vulnerability. The workshop was based on a series of research activities exploring how PhD candidates at three Dutch universities dealt with vulnerability. This was a collaboration between TU Delft, TU Eindhoven and TU Twente.

Description from website: Designers have always sought to make the world a better place, and in today's age, we see that design is increasingly engaging with more complex social challenges. While design has great potential in addressing these issues, this work can be taxing on designers.
