Teaching UxD: You Can't Go Home Again SIGDOC 2013, Michael Salvo Purdue University, [email protected]TRANSCRIPT
is not (yet?)
Re/mix
Does the history of usability research lead us to
a new trans-disciplinary construction,
Or is UX comfortable (at home) as an area
within web design, part of technical
communication, or something new?
How might UX emerge as a new professional
and intellectual identity?
What new homesteading is possible?
That is, how do we make new habitués?
And do we have to leave fallow the homesteads
that have nurtured us?
What was it about our disciplinary home?
Comfort?
Stability?
Predictability?
Scalability?
If we leave…
When we leave
Will we want to go home again?
Thomas Wolfe said we can’t.
