• Brief description of your expertise / expertise you are looking for:

  I am an experienced qualitative design researcher (PhD in Sociology). My research interests include relations between gender, technology and design, and social impact of design. In my last research project, I investigated how the material interactions between women users and vehicle interiors mediated women\'s experiences of (risk of) sexual harassment. In the project, investigation of women’s experiences was followed by an explorative design process, where I brought designers together with an urban planner, industry and a local feminist organisation to identify intervention points through which design can be complementary to policy making to ensure safe and inclusive travel experiences to women in public transport.
