Systematic Inclusive Design

Systematic Inclusive Design: From GenderMag to SocioeconomicMag

How can software professionals systematically assess whether their software supports diverse users? And if they find problems, how can they fix them?  Our team’s prior research revealed software’s failures to support different genders’ user experiences equitably and then produced the GenderMag method to address this problem, which is now in use around the world. Today we present our research toward a new method, SocioeconomicMag, to help improve software’s equitability across socioeconomically diverse users. SocioeconomicMag is just emerging, and we are actively looking for field collaborators to try it out in the field.
