Join us for a series of professional development events hosted by McCormick HR. The first fall event of the series will focus on team dynamics.
This session is an interactive program covering a framework of best practices and skills in building and leading a team that performs with excellence. The objective of this session is to provide tools that will enhance communication between team members, clearer understanding of what's expected, and increased accountability for both the leader and the team member.
This event is voluntary and open to all Northwestern Engineering staff, faculty, postdocs, and research staff.
If you have questions or accessibility needs, please contact Kimberly Higgins.
Training provided by Cindy Aaronson, Organizational Consultant and Trainer with CSA & Associates.

Robots and Opioids: Understanding How Communities Want to Deploy Technologies for their SafetyAbstract
In this talk, I will share two qualitative analyses focused on community perspectives of technological innovations designed for their safety. The first project is a photo elicitation study, in which we interviewed people about their perceptions of and attitudes toward security robots. We learned about what people expect these robots can do, how they would want them to be used, and fears about potential risks and consequences of their use. In the second project, we developed a location-based app to facilitate layperson response to opioid overdoses. In a yearlong field trial within one Philadelphia neighborhood, 112 participants signaled over 200 suspected overdoses, and administered the overdose reversal drug naloxone 74 times. Qualitative findings indicate that a lack of trust in professional response services, and experiences of marginalization, fueled participation in a community-based effort to help one another. Moreover, shared experiences of loss and trauma around the opioid crisis motivated app use that was markedly prosocial. Across both of these projects, I discuss the role of technologies in helping people feel safe in their communities, and critical ways in which community input can shape how we design and deploy them.Biograpahy
