Sara joins Open Lab (Newcastle University) as a visiting researcher

Sara has begun a new role as a Visiting Researcher at Open Lab (Newcastle University) in Newcastle upon Tyne. Over three months, she will collaborate with Prof. Abigail C. Durrant, Caroline Claisse, David Chatting, and Ben Morris on the Resound project. Resound is a Research through Design inquiry exploring alternative techno-spiritual practices within a UK Buddhist community. In partnership with the community, a new research product will be developed and deployed (the Resound Sphere). If you are curious to learn more, you can find first insights from the research published at TEI, HTTF, a CHI workshop, and ECSCW.

A huge thank you to the fantastic Open Lab team for making my time in Newcastle so inspiring and enriching. I am also very grateful for the funding I received for this research visit from the Faculty of Human Sciences (JMU Würzburg).
