Trans competent research
Now we’d like to introduce you to an example of inclusive research in action. In this video, Cami will introduce you to a particular way of researching, defined as ‘trans competent research’.
Trans and non-binary people are some of the most underserved in society, Cami’s work as a conversation designer has focused on the needs of trans and non-binary people, identifying their particular requirements when engaging with technologies such as voice-activated assistants.
Notice how Cami has tailored their research to address the needs of a specific group of people so that their work can effectively address the problems faced by trans and non-binary people.
In the video, Cami notes their work is inspired by Alex Ahmed, a ‘socially-conscious user experience researcher trained in human-centred design’. You can find out more about Alex on her website.
What are your thoughts on conducting research to address the needs of a specific underserved group? Has this example made you reflect further on your own practices?
