Emotional investment while
engaging with vulnerable
people – as many
immigrants are – in design
fieldwork should be an
element of analysis.
Processes with emotional
impact influence fieldwork.
An emotion is a strong feeling coming from certain
circumstances, moods or relationships with others and
which is intuitive.
How to deal with emotions in participatory
design research?
Case	Study
1
MIGRATION STORIES FROM EAST HELSINKI: OUR CITY
A series of workshops and other events in which different immigrant
communities were explicitly invited to take part in the design process.
Participants in the workshop: 15 women who knew each other well.
Food! an integral part of the workshop’s planning and realization.
Participatory design fieldwork. Dealing with emotions
Using props (cards) made the
life stories of our participants
easier to narrate/express/write/
visualize.
“In my home country, I had to escape from the police. In
Finland, you are not free even though you are not in prison.
When I came here I got a new life and I smiled at everyone.
But Finnish people keep their distance and so I do not feel
free. Real freedom for me is in Kurdistan. Freedom is in the
mind and in the feelings.”
”I do not think myself in Meri-Rastila, in the future I will
go back to Kurdistan, I am counting the days.”
The identification of the need for
services in the area such as
appropriate language courses for
mothers and recreational spaces
in which immigrants could get to
know Finnish people.
In the Alternative Master Plan
which was the main design
product of the OURcity project, our
findings were translated into a
larger communal space for
immigrants and Finns to gather,
as well as a number of public
spaces planned to be used by the
diverse community in the area
Engagement Emotions
Reciprocity
2
Strong emotions were triggered due to several factors: the visualisations, the
relationships amongst participants, the overall atmosphere, the open-ended nature
of the questions, and the content of the discussion, namely migration stories.
It is ethically questionable to
incite memories of painful
events.
As design researchers we have
multiple roles: confidants,
translators, facilitators, and
investigators.
In these roles we oscillated within
a wide range of emotions varying
from sadness when our
participants got sad, to joyful
when our participants were
happy.
We felt empathy and we were also
quite conscious of our roles and
research questions, and tried to
keep our emotions at bay.
Emotions, even when they are
controversial, are unavoidable.
Light and Akama (2012) argue
that participatory methods
cannot be seen in isolation from
the people engaged in them.
They are “[m]ethods and
techniques [that] require
embodiment”.
This embodiment could be
painful in research situations in
which traumatic events are
discussed.

Design Conference, Roskilde,Denmark, p. 61-70.

Spent some more time
talking with us or
personnel trained for
debriefing, immediately
after the workshop

Reserve time to make a
debriefing session with
our colleagues just after
the session

Be empathic with
participants’ emotions
but also know how not to
aggravate their
emotions

Offer our mediation in
order for our participants
to get help from, for
instance, community
workers and trauma
specialists, in dealing with
certain very distressing
events in their lives.

When our research falls into the category of
designing with the Other, recognizing design as a
social practice requires dealing with emotions.

Participatory design fieldwork. Dealing with emotions

  • 1. Participatory Design Fieldwork: Dealing with Emotions Mariana Salgado Michail Galanakis Esa Pursiainen SUO&CO Independent researchers & practitioners 21.11.2016 Cumulus, Hong Kong
  • 2. Emotional investment while engaging with vulnerable people – as many immigrants are – in design fieldwork should be an element of analysis. Processes with emotional impact influence fieldwork.
  • 3. An emotion is a strong feeling coming from certain circumstances, moods or relationships with others and which is intuitive.
  • 4. How to deal with emotions in participatory design research?
  • 6. MIGRATION STORIES FROM EAST HELSINKI: OUR CITY A series of workshops and other events in which different immigrant communities were explicitly invited to take part in the design process.
  • 7. Participants in the workshop: 15 women who knew each other well. Food! an integral part of the workshop’s planning and realization.
  • 9. Using props (cards) made the life stories of our participants easier to narrate/express/write/ visualize.
  • 10. “In my home country, I had to escape from the police. In Finland, you are not free even though you are not in prison. When I came here I got a new life and I smiled at everyone. But Finnish people keep their distance and so I do not feel free. Real freedom for me is in Kurdistan. Freedom is in the mind and in the feelings.” ”I do not think myself in Meri-Rastila, in the future I will go back to Kurdistan, I am counting the days.”
  • 11. The identification of the need for services in the area such as appropriate language courses for mothers and recreational spaces in which immigrants could get to know Finnish people. In the Alternative Master Plan which was the main design product of the OURcity project, our findings were translated into a larger communal space for immigrants and Finns to gather, as well as a number of public spaces planned to be used by the diverse community in the area
  • 13. Strong emotions were triggered due to several factors: the visualisations, the relationships amongst participants, the overall atmosphere, the open-ended nature of the questions, and the content of the discussion, namely migration stories.
  • 14. It is ethically questionable to incite memories of painful events. As design researchers we have multiple roles: confidants, translators, facilitators, and investigators. In these roles we oscillated within a wide range of emotions varying from sadness when our participants got sad, to joyful when our participants were happy. We felt empathy and we were also quite conscious of our roles and research questions, and tried to keep our emotions at bay.
  • 15. Emotions, even when they are controversial, are unavoidable. Light and Akama (2012) argue that participatory methods cannot be seen in isolation from the people engaged in them. They are “[m]ethods and techniques [that] require embodiment”. This embodiment could be painful in research situations in which traumatic events are discussed. Light, A., & Akama, Y. (2012). The Human Touch: Participatory practice and the role of facilitation in designing with communities. Proc. Participatory Design Conference, Roskilde,Denmark, p. 61-70.
  • 17. Time and space for reflection Defusing
  • 21. Spent some more time talking with us or personnel trained for debriefing, immediately after the workshop Picture in Flickr by Stephen published under CC license.
  • 22. Reserve time to make a debriefing session with our colleagues just after the session Picture in Flickr by Stephen published under CC license.
  • 23. Be empathic with participants’ emotions but also know how not to aggravate their emotions Picture in Flickr by Stephen published under CC license.
  • 24. Offer our mediation in order for our participants to get help from, for instance, community workers and trauma specialists, in dealing with certain very distressing events in their lives. Picture in Flickr by Stephen published under CC license.
  • 25. When our research falls into the category of designing with the Other, recognizing design as a social practice requires dealing with emotions.
