About
Vaike Fors is a leading figure in interventional design anthropology, whose work bridges the gap between emerging technologies and human-centered design. Her research focuses on how people interact with and are shaped by new technological systems, particularly in the contexts of mobility, automation, and digital interfaces. Fors’s major contribution lies in developing an interventional approach to design anthropology—a methodology that actively engages with communities and technologies in real-world settings to co-create more ethical, sustainable, and inclusive futures. Her most-cited paper, "An Interventional Design Anthropology of Emerging Technologies: Working Through an Interdisciplinary Field" (2022), synthesizes years of fieldwork and theoretical innovation, offering a framework for researchers and practitioners to navigate the complexities of technological change. While her citation count is still growing, Fors’s impact is already evident in her role as a professor at Halmstad University, where she leads projects on autonomous driving, smart cities, and digital ethnography. Her work has been recognized for its practical relevance, influencing both academic discourse and industry practices in Scandinavia and beyond.
