Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Applied ethics in research is no longer regarded as a concern exclusive to the medical field. Exemplars in ethics from other fields such as design are, however, meagre, as are relevant practical and design applied guidelines. The more ethically grounded a given area of research is, the greater the chance it can contribute to long-term, meaningful breakthroughs in knowledge. An improved ethics in design can enable a critical questioning that in turn leads to entirely new research questions.The mere involvement of human subjects and the application of safety provisions in design research do not guarantee it will meet ethical considerations, best practices or standards. The entire complex interaction with users offers intriguing possibilities and risks, or can result in mediocrity in areas such as: preparation and implementation that is worth the research person’s time; respect for users’ contributions; dignified treatment; feedback in an iterative and interactive process with mutual information and inspiration; and products and processes that are truly influenced by the users. This reasoning applies to all, but with special distinction to people who are disabled and elderly. Starting with specific needs as opposed to more general ones (the latter of which result in the necessity for more abstract specifications for the multitudes) can, above and beyond the ethical dimension, also result in increased innovation and effectiveness for society on the whole. Proceeding from the particular to the general is of considerable value, for ethical reasons as well as for sheer effectiveness.Involving persons with a variety of disabilities in product development helps to ensure innovative and useworthy products.[1] One of many prerequisites for ethically sound user involvement is that all participants are aware of the interference taking place in an iterative design process.An elaboration of ethical aspects in design can be valuable for different stakeholders (user organisations, NGOs and the design community) and, of course, for the relevance of resulting products and processes. A more considerate ethical approach could have substantial economical value due to the higher relevance of the results. There has been a considerable increase in the ethical expectations placed on businesses and professions in recent years. Scores of organisations have reacted by developing ethical codes of conduct and professional guidelines to explicitly state their values and principles.[2] Moreover, the drafting of a code of ethics can be seen as an indication of professionalism in an emerging profession.[3]

Människonära design
- 2005

Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Det mesta i den här boken tar sin utgångspunkt i människor med funktionsnedsättningar. Situationer med stora svårigheter behöver en stark prioritering, både för sin egen del och för att det särskilda förr eller senare brukar komma det gemensamma till godo. Boken har två delar. Den första består av tio minst sagt spretiga kapitel som alla visar på att hur svår en situation än är, finns det alltid något man kan göra. Dessa kapitel är nog så innehållsrika men samtidigt lättlästa. De är helt enkelt avsedda att berätta sina historier, rakt upp och ner, varje kapitel för sig. Fullt så lättläst är inte del 2. I den försöker vi visa på teori- och metodbildning som kan underlätta, hålla samman och vidareutveckla. Den delen har också en rikhaltig referenslista för vidare studier.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper presents examples of different aspects of design in a disability context with the aim of revealing some of its fundamentals. It particularly emphasizes situated aspects of research: the need for being there, with the users in their daily lives – where the action is.
