Social Sciences and Humanities to UX Research - Resources (Free!)

UX researchers with training in the social sciences and humanities have had a large presence in design and business since the 1970s, with the strongest growth over the past 20 years. UXR remains a popular career path option for students, graduates, and academics seeking applied research positions.

If you are interested in bringing your truly human-centered background and skills to this ever-evolving field, peep this free public resource to learn about the experiences of your disciplinary peers in anthropology, sociology, psychology, history, linguistics, sociology, library & information sciences, and social work.

Compiled over several years, it contains a curated list of almost 100 articles, podcasts, webinar recordings, and other resources that provide insight into this community of practice. Plus a ton of general resources on UXR and industry careers.

This is a free resource! Just put $0 for the price, unless you would like to throw a couple bucks my way to support my work!
