Eva Eriksson

Eva Eriksson is an Associate Professor at Aarhus University, affiliated with the School of Communication and Culture and the Department of Digital Design and Information Studies. Her work bridges design, technology, and social values, focusing on participatory and human-centered approaches.

Her research interests center on Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Participatory Design, and Design for Sustainability. She explores how co-design methods can empower youth, support children with learning differences like dyscalculia, and integrate more-than-human perspectives—considering non-human actors such as nature and technology—in design processes. Her work emphasizes ethical, inclusive, and reflective design practices.

The recent publications highlight a strong trend in co-design with youth, XR and AR for education, sustainable technology, and methodological innovation in design research. These works span case studies, scoping reviews, and conceptual provocations, often published in top-tier venues like CHI and Interacting with Computers.
