To Nynke, Azza, and all interested
Just for your information, a few years back my Master dissertation in
Sociology (Université de Montréal) was on 'Artifacts as Social Agents' (in
French). An approach to indeed "... appreciate the value of the artefact
in facilitating social change (which makes it a distinct approach from
social welfare approaches and humanitarian actions) through its power to
change behaviours. A focus on behaviour change does not only help designers
to focus, it also fosters critical reflection on what behaviours are
desirable from a social point of view and it helps measuring effectiveness
and impact."
Best wishes!
