Student Blog Spotlight: Conversations in Science @ Indiana University (ScIU)Learn about the world around and get a peek into the research being done by our fellow grad students from the college of arts and science. The goals of the ScIU blog are twofold and aim to benefit the communities on either side of the computer screen. By providing well-written, accurate posts about science, we will develop our ability to communicate with you about our research and engage you in our work. In turn, we hope that you will gain a new perspective on current research, broaden your understanding of science as a field, and engage in conversation with us about topics that you find interesting.

It starts from my experience in empathic design and then expands to look for answers to the question of what are those social conditions that can give social design projects a long life, and how can we design technologies, systems, and social forms that are both respectful to those forms and lead to long-lasting changes.
