The desire to do inclusive research right can create an anxiety of getting it wrong. This isn’t just a feeling; it has real costs. Researchers might avoid studies with marginalized users, or unintentionally make our anxiety the focus of the session. When that happens, participants are sidelined, and our insights suffer.

This session is a practical guide to getting out of our own way. We’ll apply the framework of cultural humility, using critical self-reflection as a tool to productively work with that anxiety, so you can keep the focus on the person you’re there to learn from.

You’ll leave with concrete tools to take on inclusive research with confidence and stop letting anxiety limit the quality and impact of your work. Join us to start gathering the rich, honest insights that lead to truly inclusive products.
