Putting the human in Human-Computer Interaction: The role of anthropology in the development of interactive design systems
<p>Being a UX/UI Designer with a background in cultural and social anthropology, I oftentimes find myself encountering the question of how I made “the leap” from anthropology to UX/UI Design. Naturally, having learned what I learned and knowing what I know, I would simply respond with: “At the end of the day it is all about the human experience.” Yet, I felt the urge to put into proper context and writing what I intrinsically know. Thus, this article aims to offer a brief overview of the intersections between the discipline of anthropology and the field of human-computer interaction. It is by no means a complete guide, nor does it go full into depth within the various intersectional spaces, as this would require more space and time to touch upon. Hopefully, readers will receive some valuable insights and relevant inputs as to how anthropology and HCI are historically and thematically interrelated.</p>
