The Ethics Canvas: A tool for practicing ethics in information architecture

IAC 2020

Time(s)

April 10, 2020

Description

People who organize information for discovery and use have a responsibility to design ethically, and many have been having discussions about this in past years. It can be easy to pass the buck, stating that it is out of our hands, not our responsibility, or an issue that we can’t influence. However, as information architects, we have a responsibility to facilitate a conversation and outline important issues around ethics and information.

This talk will introduce an Ethics Canvas which can be applied widely within projects, teams, groups and organizations.

Key takeaways from the session:

  • Ethics is important in a professional context.
  • There’s a tool that can help you start and sustain constructive conversations in your teams and workplaces.
  • Where to find the tool and how to use it.
