Unpacking non-dualistic design: The soma design case
We report on a somaesthetic design workshop and the subsequent analytical work aiming to
demystify what is entailed in a non-dualistic design stance on embodied interaction and why …

Vulnerability as an ethical stance in soma design processes
We articulate vulnerability as an ethical stance in soma design processes and discuss the
conditions of its emergence. We argue that purposeful vulnerability–an act of taking risk …
