We are all individuals: considering user diversity in design

Workshop

Seminar and Workshop by Prof. Robyn Clay-Williams

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 excited to announce that Professor Robyn Clay-Williams from Macquarie University will be visiting RWTH Aachen University, TU Darmstadt, and TU Wien to deliver a lecture on diversity in design, accompanied by a hands-on workshop. Don‘t miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights and practical strategies for inclusive design!
