Batya Friedman is a Professor in the Information School and Adjuct Professor in the Department of Computer Science & Engineering Friedman and in the Department of Human-Centered Design & Engineering at the University of Washington. Friedman pioneered Value Sensitive Design (VSD), an approach to account for human values in the More...design of information systems. First developed in human-computer interaction, VSD has since been used in information management, human-robotic interaction, and urban planning. Her work has focused on the values of privacy in public, trust, freedom from bias, moral agency, environmental sustainability, and human dignity; and engaged such technologies as web browsers, urban simulation, robotics, open source tools, and ubiquitous computing. She is currently working on a method for envisioning and multi-lifespan information system design – new ideas for leveraging information systems to shape our future. “Voices from the Rwanda Tribunal” is an early project in this multi-lifespan information system design effort (http://www.tribunalvoices.org).
