Join the Sara Fine Institute for a UX Study Group, organized by Chelsea Gunn, Kate Joranson, and Nora Mattern.
User experience (UX) research is the study of users’ needs, interests, and behaviors as they engage with technology, services, and infrastructure. Through this study group, we will:
- Build an understanding of UX methods through readings and exercises
- Find connections between our fields and UX methods
- Locate ways that we can apply UX methods in our research, careers or future work
- Understand how UX methods can be employed in ways that meaningfully prioritize equity, diversity, and inclusion
In this study group, we will read work by UX researchers, as well as writings from fields that inform our understanding of the relationships between people and technology, such as psychology, media studies, library science, and sociology.
This is an informal learning community that will meet monthly. Students, staff, and faculty from all disciplines are welcome. Participants will be invited to propose readings or topics for engagement.
The summer 2023 dates are: June 16, July 14, and August 4 at 2:30-3:30
This learning group recognizes the work of Dr. Sara Fine, a psychologist who explored human interaction with information and technology and how the technological revolution affects individuals, organizations, and societies.

The next meeting will be: June 16, 2:30-3:30 via Zoom.
