Nimra Ahmed Invited Speaker on Feminist Design and GBV
Research stay at Northumbria University and invited talk at Open Lab, Newcastle University
Nimra recently spent time at Northumbria University on a research stay with the Design Feminisms Lab, working closely with Angelika Strohmayer. During her visit, she explored how feminist and community-led design approaches can shape technologies that support help-seeking in the context of gender-based violence (GBV).
She was also invited to give a talk at Open Lab Newcastle University, where she shared insights from her research and discussed how we can design technology that is safer, more supportive, and better aligned with the realities of GBV survivors.
This visit was an inspiring opportunity to connect with researchers who share a commitment to feminist HCI, social justice, and community-based design.
