Rachel Charlotte Smith
Short Description
Prof Dr Rachel Charlotte Smith is Associate Professor of Human-Centred Design at Aarhus University, Dept. for Digital Design and Information Science. My research focuses on relations between culture, design and technology, specifically on social change and digital futures through emerging technologies. As an anthropologist I take part in exploring and developing relevant ways in which new digital technology can make sense in relation to people and everyday life in diverse contexts.
