Socially sustainable design and making of digital technologies through value co-creation approach - making sense of technology protagonism
Description of the granted funding
The project examines ‘technology protagonism', i.e., how the future citizens, as private persons, employees, entrepreneurs, or policymakers – and also as technology developers – would be able to act as technology protagonists who have the ability to question digital technology use and demand for socially sustainable technological solutions that augment humans and societies, and even design such technologies themselves. Sustainability is here understood widely, to cover the ethical and societal aspects of technology design and use. Data will be collected with children, teens, and young adults. Data collection methods are qualitative and include for example observation, interviews, design and making workshops. Research will be conducted in the INTERACT Research Unit, University of Oulu.
