The LaDA (Laboratory of Design and Anthropology) book, organised by professors and researchers Barbara Szaniecki, Zoy Anastassakis and researcher Pedro Biz, is a collection of reflections on the first doctoral research defended by researchers who carried out their research at LaDA. Although they come from the same time and place, the research gathered here is very different in terms of themes and approaches, converging around a shared theoretical framework, as well as a common commitment to finding ways of doing design research involving more people, things and territories.
