The Dahdaleh Institute for Global Health Research - invitation to Lunch & Learn

Thursday, August 8, 2019 - 12:15pm to 1:45pm

Information Design for the Common Good

Designers are increasingly involved in the world of social good. Traditionally installed in commercial sectors, they are now collaborating with scientists, researchers and others non-designers who bring their own knowledge-base and processes. These interdisciplinary encounters are often new, exciting and challenging. Drawing on her experiences of this phenomenon, and on the research behind her upcoming book titled Information Design for the Common Good, Courtney Marchese will lead a Lunch & Learn on interdisciplinary design collaboration in global health.

 

Courtney Marchese is a professional designer with over a decade of experience specializing in data visualizations, information graphics, UX design, and usability studies. She is an Associate Professor of Graphic + Interactive Design, teaching a wide range of design theory, research, and technical skills at the undergraduate and graduate level.

 

DATE: Thurs. Aug. 8th, 2019

TIME: 12:15 pm - 1:45 pm

LOCATION: Boardroom, Dahdaleh Institute for Global Health Research (Suite 2150, 88 The Pond Rd., York University)
