Tracks: Research Foundations

Doing Guerilla Research Right.


This talk gives a detailed overview of guerrilla research, including: what it is, how guerrilla methods compare with traditional methods, and how to strategize and conduct your own guerrilla research study. Maia will also showcase two distinct case studies to demonstrate the dissimilar forms guerrilla methods can take, and how different approaches fit the needs of different projects.
