Hi All, HCDE is offering a class fall quarter on designing for complex systems. It will feature a Red Cross project. HCDE 520 Design and Management of Complex Systems (4). For more info contact Robin Mays rm...@uw.edu <mailto:rm...@uw.edu>.
If designing for Red Cross is of interest, you might like to attend an upcoming public talk by a major figure in disaster sociology Kathleen Tierney: Creating a Culture of Disaster Preparedness <https://depts.washington.edu/cossar/events/event/cossar-seminar-series-kathleen-tierney/> September 18, 2017 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm Gould Hall Room 322 Dharma Dailey PhD Candidate Human Centered Design & Engineering University of Washington dharmadailey.info > Begin forwarded message: > > From: "Robin E.
