This is the part where I live tweet my #uxrconf talk (thx for the idea @albanvillamil @uxrcollective).
1/ We all have those phases in our lives where we’re not sure what we’re doing with our career. I’m going to talk about a concept called #Ikigai that can help navigate this.

2/ Even if you know what you’re doing, Ikigai is that inner compass that can give you clarity/courage when things get hard.
e.g. As researcher, we have to speak truth to power. Drawing attention to problematic findings can be tricky depending on the clients/leadership.

3/ And, Ikigai helps us have energy for things that we may be struggling with or see as less fun.
e.g. maybe we’re learning a new skill/subject that we’re not good at yet and dragging our feet. Ikigai can helps us sustain momentum and find joy in the learning journey.

Time to livetweet my @UXRCollective talk 🤓 Researchers have always been architects of racism; how we interpret the racial realities of our participants shapes their navigation of the world. How does our minimization of race/racism in #uxresearch produce racist design? #UXRConf
We know that race is socially constructed but what does it mean, as sociologist Dorothy E. Roberts notes, that race is an invention? How have social researchers historically invented notions of race that have served their economic and political goals (and oppression)? #UXRConf
So... although race is socially constructed, its invention and reinvention has always had consequences. And any design that preserves that racial hierarchy is what we can call racist. Our colorblind approach to user research is one practice that perpetuates inequality #UXRConf
