Abstract:
Involving end-users in the design process is rare, and end-user access in humanitarian relief settings is often hindered partly due to ethical considerations. Contextual challenges unpredictably interfere with the execution of end-user research conducted in Kebri Beyah refugee camp and demanded continuous reflection, readjustment and improvisation from the design team. Designers could benefit from a more ethically reflective design practise that makes them able to think about ethics 'in action' and design in a more conscious manner. This ethical reflection however, is strengthened in context.
