We’ve had an extremely busy few years. Currently, Autumn 2024 is shaping up to be filled with conferences, events, and our very own, Ville Vakkuri will be returning from his year long venture with distinguished privacy scholar, Professor Irina Shklovski from the University of Copenhagen.

One of the main conference highlights will be Tethics (Conference on Technology Ethics) to be held at the University of Tampere in November this year (2024).

We also had an extremely fruitful experience with the DRS (Design Research Society) conference held in Boston, MA, during June. We are extremely excited about one of our papers, “Gender Code: a narrative ethical glance at women professionals in Finnish IT” being one of the most downloaded papers of this massive conference.

Now it’s all speed ahead!
