I wrote a 2 parts article for Condens on biases in user research in areas that don’t get enough attention: Part 1 focuses on biases with note-taking and data analysis. I talk about awareness, how they impact projects and mitigation strategies. https://condens.io/blog/biases-in-user-research-note-taking-and-data-analysis/
(stay tuned for part 2 that will focus on biases impacting research & design project decisions and meetings)

When we further probed parents and elders about these beliefs, they told us that fear isn’t useful and shouldn’t be felt.
They argued that fear is debilitating and paralysing, and should be replaced with unconditional respect for all life."

Today I finished a new chapter in my book on exclusivity in design. In this chapter I tell the story of Desi, a Black man who demonstrated the biased design in an HP camera tracking system. His video was from 2009, but it’s still very relevant.
