Peter Harling
Peter founded Synaps to distill almost 20 years experience working in and on the Arab world. During this itinerary, which led him from Iraq to Lebanon, then Syria, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and back to Lebanon, he combined academia with long-form journalism, consultancies, and a ten-year tenure with the International Crisis Group. A French citizen born in England, he studied biology before switching to political science and sociology, and lived happily ever after.
Sessions
The session will introduce participants to the creative use of user personae applied to accessibility: The internet is very different things to different people, and something we know little about when it comes to the most vulnerable among us. They are just as dependent on the internet as us, yet use it in ways we don't suspect.
