My research interests focus on investigating how rationalistic understandings of technology associated with the modern worldview restrict design from contributing substantively to sustainability by viewing technologies as neutral, which de-emphasises their world building nature. I am especially interested in developing methods and tools that support design students to understand technologies in non-neutral terms and explore the implications of this understanding for developing more sustainable ways of living via the design of technological artefacts.
