Abstract
As part of the liberation technologies project and of Stanford's Hasso Plattner
Institute for Design (the "d.school") I have been a participant and an observer
in a variety of courses and projects that are intended to serve goals of
development and democracy in underserved areas of the world. In this talk I
will reflect on some of the lessons we have learned in that process, and on
some of the underlying difficulties with current conceptions of Design for Good.
Terry Winograd is a co-leader of the Liberation Technology program at CDDRL and
Professor of Computer Science in the Computer Science Department at Stanford
University. His research focus is on human-computer interaction design,
especially theoretical background and conceptual models. He directs the
teaching programs and HCI research in the Stanford Human-Computer Interaction
Group, and is also a founding faculty member of the Hasso Plattner Institute of
Design at Stanford.
Prof. Winograd was a founding member and former president of Computer
Professionals for Social Responsibility. He is on a number of journal editorial
boards, including Human Computer Interaction, ACM Transactions on Computer
Human Interaction, andInformatica. Some of his publications includes
Understanding Computers and Cognition: A New Foundation for Design
(Addison-Wesley, 1987)and Usability: Turning Technologies into Tools (Oxford,
1992).
Terry Winograd received a BA in mathematics from The Colorado College in 1966
and Ph.D. in applied mathematics from M.I.T in 1970.
