This game-changing new book presents new ways of conceptualising how to engage with a future-oriented research agenda, demonstrating how anthropologists can approach futures both theoretically and practically, and introducing a set of innovative research methods to tackle this field of research.Anthropology and Futures brings together a group of leading scholars from across the world, including Sarah Pink, Rayna Rapp, Faye Ginsburg and Paul Stoller. Firmly grounded in ethnographic fieldwork experience, the book\'s fifteen chapters range from long-term longitudinal ethnographies among people living with HIV/AIDS in the UK and people with disabilities in North America, to participatory research with young Muslim women in Copenhagen, future-makers in Barcelona, the design of workspaces in Melbourne and speculative ethnographies among transient and mobile communities living in Antarctica.Taking a strong interdisciplinary approach, the authors respond to growing interest in the topic of futures in anthropology and beyond. Challenges of uncertainty and increased emphasis on the practical \'impact\' of research which helps to inform governance and planning are calling out for this ground-breaking text which will trigger a more engaged, interventional and applied anthropology. Essential reading for students and researchers in anthropology, sociology, cultural studies, design and research methods. The gap between who designers and developers imagine their users are and who those users really are can be the biggest problem with product development. Observing the User Experience will help you bridge that gap to understand what your users want and need from your product and whether they\'ll be able to use what you\'ve created. Filled with real-world experience and a wealth of practical information this book presents a complete toolbox of techniques to help designers and developers see through the eyes of their users. It provides in-depth coverage of 13 user experience research techniques that will provide a basis for developing better products whether they\'re Web software or mobile based. In addition it\'s written with an understanding of how software is developed in the real world taking tight budgets short schedules and existing processes into account. Quantifying the User Experience Practical Statistics for User Research offers a practical guide for using statistics to solve quantitative problems in user research. Many designers and researchers view usability and design as qualitative activities which do not require attention to formulas and numbers. However usability practitioners and user researchers are increasingly expected to quantify the benefits of their efforts. The impact of good and bad designs can be quantified in terms of conversions completion rates completion times perceived satisfaction recommendations and sales.The book discusses ways to quantify user research summarize data and compute margins of error determine appropriate samples sizes standardize usability questionnaires and settle controversies in measurement and statistics. Each chapter concludes with a list of key points and references. Most chapters also include a set of problems and answers that enable readers to test their understanding of the material. This book is a valuable resource for those engaged in measuring the behavior and attitudes of people during their interaction with interfaces. . Skills. . UNIT 1. RESEARCH & PREPARATION.
