HCD4D & DistrictUX Book Club: “Cross-Cultural Design” with Author Senongo Akpem

Join us for our very first HCD4D Book Club series event: a remote discussion on the book “Cross-Cultural Design,” with the author, Senongo Akpem!

We are happy to be co-hosting this event with the District UX Book Club team.

The modern web is inherently global—and if we want to design successfully for it, we must be ready to meet the needs, perspectives, and expectations of multifaceted, multicultural audiences. With utmost timeliness, Akpem shares a clear and accessible methodology for designing across cultures: from performing socially-conscious research to building culturally responsive experiences, to developing meaningful internationalization and localization approaches. In his book, Akpem discusses designing digital experiences for cross-cultural audiences, including everything from audience research to implementation approaches.

In this era of revisited norms around cultural differences, we are excited to discuss this particular topic, and look forward to a great conversation with Akpem! The first half of the event will be a discussion with the organizers, and for the second half, we will open the floor up for questions for Akpem from the audience.

You are not required to read the book prior to the event, although Akpem has offered us a special discount for purchasing the book if you’d like to do so. You can purchase the book here: https://abookapart.com/products/cross-cultural-design. To receive the special discount for our meetup, use the code HCD4D (good for 15% off the book).
