Profile
Claude Draude is Professor of Participatory IT Design at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Adjunct Professor at the Faculty of Social Sciences , and director of the Research Center for Information System Design (ITeG) at the University of Kassel. Claude Draude served in an advisory capacity during the establishment of the Kassel Institute for Sustainability.
Claude Draude's work is highly interdisciplinary and shaped by her academic career, which combines media studies, cultural studies, and sociology with computer science research and development.
Her research focuses on how information technology design can enable and promote social justice and social participation.
In the fields of human-computer interaction, socio-informatics, and computer science and society, she combines theoretical foundations with design research, empirical work, and methodological development. Thematically, she deals with participatory and socio-technical design, digital participation and access to computer science, social bias in AI, intersectional gender studies and diversity, new materialist approaches in human-computer interaction, and design and artistic research.
Claude Draude co-founded the “Participation" work group at the Human-Computer Interaction section of the German Informatics Society (GI e.V.). Claude Draude was a member of the scientific commission for the Third Gender Equality Report with a focus on digitalisation, appointed by the German federal government.
