Gilbert added a paper
Gilbert I've added three papers so far, let me know if there's anything you'd like me to add, otherwise I'll be working very slowly through backwards from my 2011 papers in reverse time order. So if you want to read any of my golden oldies like the 1996 ... more
Gilbert OK, I've got around the initially obstructive navigation. I've added two papers so far, let me know if there's anything you'd like me to add, otherwise I'll be working through backwards from my 2010... more

About
I'm Professor and Assocaite Dean in the School of Design at Northumbria University. I'm an Interaction Designer who occasionally dabbles in product and service design. I have a multi-disciplinary background in humanities (History), applied human sciences (Education), and engineering design (Computer Science, old school HCI). In 2005 I was awarded a UK NESTA fellowship to work on value-centred approaches to design. As a first result, I moved beyond value (to worth) and beyond centredness (to multiple design foci). As a second result, my research has developed a more general design focus, and I moved from Computing (Sunderland) to Design (Northumbria) in September 2009. I now work alongside very talented design educators and researchers with a broad range of craft skills and design philosophies. Along with several other HCI commentators, I increasingly find the user-centred positions of 1980s HCI naive and uninformed. Design isn't a shape and it hasn't got a centre. Any choice of a centre for design will be wrong. Good design is BIG: balanced, integrative and generous. Looking for one magic centre will result in none of these, whereas an effective mix of applied arts, engineering and human-focused approaches could well work miracles
