Participant Observation

Thursday, March 1, 2007

I just read online that a Temple student will be spending his spring break experiencing homelessness in Philadelphia.

I've done this sort of thing on a couple occasions. Always a memorable experience.

I think it's important that designers have empathy. This is a first hand, contextual way to do it. I'm not sure why I've overlooked this vital aspect of the process.

I've emailed him and asked if he wanted a traveling companion. We'll see what he says.
