Ethnography Lab Speaker Series - Nadine Hare

Nadine Hare, Design Anthropologist/consultant, OCAD

Nadine will explore the growing role anthropologists play in the public and corporate sectors in understanding lived experience, supporting participatory approaches, and influencing how organizations design services, systems, and experiences. She will share learnings, impasses, opportunities, and failures that illustrate how anthropologists can meaningfully contribute to the applied world of design.

Nadine Hare bio

I am a medical and design anthropologist. My work focuses on helping organizations embed anthropological approaches and participatory research into their work. I am the co-founder of co-being design, a design mentoring firm focused on supporting public health-care organizations. I serve as an Innovation Fellow at Women’s College Hospital (WCH). At OCAD University, I teach designers how to meaningfully understand the people they are designing for, and at the University of Toronto I teach anthropologists how to translate their skills into the applied world of design and UX. I previously worked as a consultant for corporate health-care clients.
