Hello everyone! I’ve been a part of the HTC for a few months but realized I never introduced myself here.
I’m Rebecca (she/her) and I am a UX Researcher in Vancouver, Canada. I have a keen interest in how to create humane tech as my company moves into the product space and am in the process of defining how we can ensure products are “humane” through research. I am also interested in how tech plays a role or should play a role in government and democracy - I’m thinking about options for doing a Master’s degree in this area in coming years.
Currently I’m reading Surveillance Capitalism by Shoshana Zuboff and I have How to Do Nothing by Jenny Odell on my up next. What are you reading?
I enjoy being a part of this community, seeing the discussions happening, and creating space for me to think to myself about what I believe about technology.
