About the project
As digital technology permeates most aspects of our lives, there is a growing awareness that ethics is a central concern for designers. In design research, design ethics has a long history. However, most research efforts have dealt with ethics as a philosophical issue, as normative standards or as accounts from researchers’ own design processes. Very little is known about how design practitioners and technology developers, working in commercial settings, understand ethics as part of their practice. The central research question guiding the DEEP project is how design practitioners understand and deal with ethics in their work. To address this question, the project will engage with designers working in commercial settings to explore design ethics in practice.
Project contribution
The purpose of this project is to investigate how the people who design the technology that surrounds us understand and deal with ethical dilemmas. The project sheds light on this issue through two cases in Danish companies that design and develop digital technology. Based on these cases, the project will develop a conceptual framework that summarizes the key factors and dynamics for capturing how design ethics unfold in practice.
This project will contribute with much needed knowledge about design ethics in practice in terms of current practices and how we might envision a framework for addressing design ethics in practice. The main outcomes of the project will be (1) two case studies that show how ethics is understood and dealt with in practice and (2) a framework for understanding the main factors and dynamics at play regarding design ethics.Description

We propose that the concept "sonic citizenship" is a fruitful framework for the multitude of ways in which we form the aural backgrounds to each other in the rhythms of our daily lives, where citizenship is practiced, negotiated, and maintained through our everyday sonic activities.
Sonic citizenship opens a discussion on how we aurally take part in, and attune to, our community and who in the community has the privilege to raise their voice (to talk and make sound), a right to be heard (listened to), and how we conform to each other through attunement and regulation, thereby assuming the role of citizens. Sonic citizenship, as a concept, extends across various levels of the collective. It encompasses the micro-social intricacies of attunement – everyday, often unnoticed, habits of sonic interaction that shape our connections with those in our immediate vicinity. On a meso-level, it encompasses public negotiations within shared sonic spaces within a city. At macro-social levels, sonic citizenship pertains to the imagined communities of nations. It also involves our relation to the other 'companion species' we inhabit the earth with and depend on, and whose voices are threatened due to the global biodiversity and climate crisis. Description
