    Jo-Anne Bichard 'What the Anthropologist sees: Public toilets as cultural spaces'

    Jo-Anne Bichard 'What the Anthropologist sees: Public toilets as cultural spaces'

    Hello, and welcome to Ethno Pod on This is HCD.  My name is John Curran and I’m your guest host.  I’m a business anthropologist, executive coach, and CEO of JC and Associates, which is a consultancy that explores how culture shapes organisations and consumer behaviour. Jo Anne walked through the three key areas of where anthropology connects with Design.  Both in relation to what anthropology gives design, but also what anthropology can learn from design. Here, Jo Anne makes it clear that she is not a designer, which I think is a really important point.  Jo Anne then shares with me the research she did on public toilets and her holistic approach to understanding the different layers of meaning in this area.In this episode

    Dr. John Curran 'Two tribes go to war. Dealing with conflict as part of Design'

    In this episode, I caught up with Dr. John Curran, a London-based anthropologist. Now, we met in Service Design Days in Barcelona where John was giving a keynote on conflict, and how important it is to deal with this conflict, not only in the design process but also the broader impact to the business itself.

    Jay Hasbrouck 'The power of ethnographic thinking in Design'

    Jay Hasbrouck 'The power of ethnographic thinking in Design'

    This is HCD is brought to you by Humana DesignIn this episode, we chat with the author of Ethnographic Thinking, Jay Hasbrouck. We go through what ethnographic thinking is and how it should be applied to inform richer contextual insights for design teams and how designers have abused or misunderstood ethnography and even touch on some retail rituals in the US and talk about how going off-piste in Jay's research plan in Japan led him to a shoe hotel and all the rich insights about the culture that followed.
