Anthropology in Action Speaker Series

While trying to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful, Google grounds itself with 10 basic truths - the first of which is focus on the user. Once you decode it, this is a call for anthropologist job candidates. Dr. Elizabeth Baylor will discuss user experience (UX) as a form of anthropological inquiry through the lens of her own career path and recent projects for Google Health and the internationally-focused, Next Billion User (NBU) group. Join for a guided discussion of the UX process, an insider look at Google's UX roles and work culture, and some concrete tips for applying to Google yourself.
