Long forms, clunky websites, ambiguous legalese - for many people, this is what interacting with the government entails. For those who rely on government services, poor design is often more than an inconvenience - it creates a barrier to accessing benefits
What would policies and programs look like and feel like if they were written for their intended beneficiaries? In this experiential course, we'll be looking at government services from a design lens. Students will learn key human-centered design methods and will apply them to understand public services from a new angle. Through course materials and guest lectures, students will also learn about the growing role that human-centered design is playing in advocacy, legal services, and policy making.
This course is for all students. No design experience necessary.
