Critical Commentary

AO: This was an important post that we as a research team revisited several times. It highlights some of the ethical issues about doing tech research with groups whose issues may not have any type of tech solution. It also raises the question of your responsibility as a researcher to intervene. Examples like this might be part of the reason why, over time, we became much more of an "action" research group--rather than attempting to background ourselves and "just observe" we became more active in working on data and hardware ourselves and then studying that process and documenting and sharing lessons from the first-hand process.
