“Care, who and where?”
Dr. Rauna Kuokkanen
Research Professor, University of Lapland, Finland

“The Ethics of Care and the Logic of the Gift” will be the point of departure for Rauna Kuokkanen’s keynote lecture. Rauna Kuokkanen is Research Professor of Arctic Indigenous Studies at the University of Lapland, Finland. Prior to that, she was Associate Professor at the Department of Political Science and Indigenous Studies Program at the University of Toronto (2008-2018). Her main areas of research include comparative Indigenous politics, Indigenous feminist theory, Indigenous women’s rights and Arctic Indigenous governance and legal and political traditions. Kuokkanen’s new book ‘Restructuring Relations: Indigenous Self-Determination, Governance and Gender’ has been recently released by Oxford University Press, and it is an Indigenous feminist investigation of the theory and practice of Indigenous self-determination, governance and gender regimes in Indigenous political institutions. Her other books include ‘Reshaping the University: Responsibility, Indigenous Epistemes and the Logic of the Gift’ (UBC Press, 2007) and ‘Boaris dego eana: Eamiálbmogiid diehtu, filosofiijat ja dutkan’ (translated title ‘As Old as the Earth. Indigenous Knowledge, Philosophies and Research,’ Čálliidlágádus, Sámi Academica Series, 2009).

“How to Care?”
Dr. Tomás Sánchez Criado
Senior Researcher, Humboldt-University of Berlin, Germany

Tomás Sánchez Criado is Senior Researcher and the Chair of Urban Anthropology within the Department of European Ethnology at Humboldt-University of Berlin. He works at the intersection of Design Anthropology and STS, and his concern is for the social, material and political implications of designing care-related services, technologies, and urban infrastructures. He has been studying inclusive urbanism and design practices, and he has also been part of institutional initiatives and activist design collective, such as the Barcelona-based ‘En torno a la silla,’ regarding accessibility and independent living. Relevant publications range from edited books (‘Experimental Collaborations: Ethnography through Fieldwork Devices,’ co-edited with A. Estalella) to special journal issues (‘Re-learning design: Pedagogic experiments with STS in design studio courses,’ co-edited with I. Farías) and a wide variety of articles. He is currently working on a book project tentatively called ‘Mutual Access: Designing Careful Relations,’ unfolding different experimental approaches to anthropological engagement in the activist field of inclusive design”

“Care (in)action”
Lisa Nugent
Executive Director, Amgen Inc., United States

Addressing the topic “Design for the Care Experience,” Lisa Nugent will share her vision on the role of design in healthcare and pharmaceuticals. Lisa Nugent is a design leader with a track record of building and embedding design teams in pharmaceutical and medical device companies. She trains and inspires teams to co-create with customers, thus ensuring products and services are adopted and loved. Lisa joined Amgen Global Marketing 2013 to form the Customer Experience team. At the Media Design Program of Art Center College of Design, she has been a core faculty member co-developing an active research environment for both students and faculty. In the RWJF-funded project HealthDesign, she and her students worked with teen-aged patients and health providers, and they saw the positive impact that design could have in the lives of people who are living with serious illness. Lisa Nugent argues that throughout drug development, from the selection of a molecule to patient support programs, designers have a role to play in pioneering research methods, improving therapy experiences and health outcomes.

ABOUT

ORGANIZERS

Nordes 2019 is the 8th biannual conference of the Nordic Design Research Society. Convened in 2005, the society is an informal net- work of people interested in design research. Norde convenes biannual conferences and, on opposite years, biannual summer schools. The conferences and summer schools are hosted and self-organized on a voluntary basis by Nordic institutions of higher education, and the location of each rotates between the Nordic countries. Interest in hosting such an activity can be made by contacting the Nordes board or by attending the open ‘Commons’ meeting that takes place at each Nordes conference. In addition, Nordes promotes the pub- lication and dissemination of design research through the Nordes Digital Archive.
