As more and more design challenges move from artifact to service, and from service to system, the considered role of interaction design has become an imperative. But in the arena of design for social impact, the power of interaction design, deliberately paired with appropriate products, can make for an explosive combination. This presentation will cover the outputs of a series of projects aimed at creating design interventions along deliberate gender lines, focusing on girls and women, and covering topics ranging from nanny contracts, "ovulation power days," and breast feeding, to campus date rape, cancer rehabilitation, and leveraging the collective wisdom of grandmothers (one phone call at a time). Through each project, I will articulate in detail how interaction design unlocks the potential for social impact, and how artifacts, paired with those interactions, can be leveraged to create compelling, repeatable recipes for social change.View all the IxD10 videos (and slides) here!
