new resource:

diverse, equitable, and inclusive user research: a framework for today and tomorrow

We need diverse, equitable, and inclusive user research to prevent harmful user experiences and create better products that are safe, helpful, and enjoyable for all.

To help, we’ve developed a framework you can use to build a DEI research practice, including questions you can ask yourself and your team and recommendations for taking the next step.

In this new resource from the AnswerLab team, we’ll share:

  • How you can implement inclusivity, diversity, and equity into your work
  • Actions you can take immediately, as soon as tomorrow
  • Ways to think about what’s next when it comes to DEI research
