Second talk I caught at @RenderATL is @beehoyle on emotional health in tech, specifically UX Research
I honestly can’t do the talk justice, it was powerful. I’ll do my best though 🔥

Something people don't appreciate about qualitative research is the amount of time it requires. Between scheduling, conducting, transcribing, & analyzing (& re-analyzing!) interviews; member checking; and being reflexive, it can take years to finish a study of 30 participants.

So, I have ADHD and I want to share something that happened. I recently did a shoot with a network. They didn't have a teleprompter and were feeding me lines verbally. They said it took me 2x as long to complete filming than other people have and were visibly disappointed. 1/

"As a Black biracial woman of color [and UX researcher] ... I realize I'm playing two roles: a researcher learning more about the problem, and a community member who represents the issue."

Made In the Future, a design fellowship for aspiring underrepresented designers, has been a project that is years in the making and I am finally ready to share it with the world.
I hope you join me in nurturing and supporting our 1st cohort of fellows.

There are 8 different types of empathy. Be careful which definition you are using when you say the word.
The verb show, "How can we show empathy as designers?" references emotional contagion or empathic concern, 2 of 8 types of empathy.
These are not how I use empathy in UX.

Active listening is to listen with the intent to understand the other person better, by asking to clarify certain points and by temporarily dropping your own thinking and perspective to get a better grip on the nuances of the other person’s thinking and perspective.
