Currently working on my dissertation on participatory design on issues related to (forced) migration and arrival, and the role of feminist notions of care as both hurdle and resource for participation.

The coordination of maintenance work in manufacturing poses a crucial productivity factor in small and medium-sized companies (SMEs) but often seems to be rather neglected in practice as well as in much of the literature on maintenance. We shed light upon maintenance coordination work by presenting a design case study conducted in an SME over appro...
Forests and their management practices are under considerable pressure to adapt to a changing climate. This study reports on early results on the adaptation of forests and forestry practices in Europe. Our study confirms the social and situated nature of forestry and climate adaption and found that the absence of appropriate knowledge and the multi...
In this paper, we present an account of how FARC-EP ex-combatants are using digital technology in the process of reincorporating into Colombian society. We report findings showing how this technology mediates the difficult task of transitioning from a culture of opposition to civilian members and active political actors. Using the concept of social...
An increasing number of people around the world are forced to leave their homes due to the climate catastrophe, regional conflict or poverty. In their new host countries however, refugees and migrants are frequently met by a wide range of challenges, including wider societal participation. The difficulties migrants and refugees face have also incre...
Various concepts have attempted to capture the nature of the contemporary political-economic system of globalised capitalism and
its disastrous consequences for the planet, including World System
Analysis or the Capitalocene. Especially Decolonial thinkers see its
roots in colonialism. The resulting modernity/coloniality structures
many aspects of...
It is sometimes argued that there is hardly a place in the world in the 21st century left untouched by global capitalism [111, 112]. Even so, some places remain at the periphery, participating in this system without being fully absorbed by it. In this article, we take a detailed look at the economic life of such a “pericapitalist” [161] community i...
For migrants and refugees, settling in a host country often proves hugely problematic. The ability to communicate marks a significant step in the process of resettlement. The current high number of migrants coming to Europe has therefore meant that the need to improve and increase the availability of language provision has become more pressing. Nev...
Studying armed political struggles from a CSCW perspective can throw the complex interactions between culture, technology, materiality and political conflict into sharp relief. Such studies highlight interrelations that otherwise remain under-remarked upon, despite their severe consequences. The present paper provides an account of the armed strugg...
Currently, the United Nations High Commissioner for refugees estimates that there are around 65.8 million forcibly displaced people worldwide [16]. As digital technologies have become more available, humanitarian researchers and organizations have begun to explore how technologies may be used to address refugee needs under the umbrella of Digital H...
This paper highlights some of the difficulties experienced by volunteers and members of the general public when coordinating a response to an emergency in Pakistan, and discusses a participatory approach to investigating the requirements of an online emergency response platform that links volunteers with donors. The approach builds upon the use of...
This is a workbook to guide our design process at IDDS Amazon. It Introduces principles of sustainable design while providing space for keeping notes ideas and insights throughout the process.
At IDDS Amazon all of us will try to develop interventions, technologies or resilient systems that create value and fulfil needs for humans as well as for th...
This paper examines the impact of facial cues on leadership emergence. Using evolutionary social psychology, we expand upon implicit and contingent theories of leadership and propose that different types of intergroup relations elicit different implicit cognitive leadership prototypes. It is argued that a biologically based hormonal connection betw...

IDDS AMAZON was part of a series of summits supported by the International Development Innovation Network (IDIN). The summit’s goal is to, through social innovation, foster low-cost technologies, ecological systems and enterprises that improve the livelihoods and well-being of people, in harmony with nature and aware of the interdependency between organisms, human and the environment, based on ecological design principles.
