Author: Elisa Giaccardi
Ph.D.
Elisa Giaccardi is a Senior Research Scientist at the University of Colorado at Boulder. She works in the area of cultural informatics, which describes a research area where cultural practice, digital media and information science converge.
Her present work revolves around the construction and meaning of cultural heritage. It addresses issues of social practice, public formation, and sense of place that go beyond conventional museological concerns, and contributes to basic research in human-centered computing.
Her goal is to theorize, facilitate, and engage in creative and transformative design practices that supplement critical reflection with social action and cultural intervention. Her approach promotes interdisciplinary collaboration, practice-based research, and community-based media projects to support open design narratives, sustained participation, and situated evaluation.
