As Part of the HFES Listening & Acting Webinar Series

Recorded on September 14, 2022. The recruitment of a diverse and representative group of participants is essential to ensuring various perspectives are represented, both within research organizations and the private sector. During this 75-minute webinar, our panel of expert researchers will share the challenges and successes they’ve experienced regarding topics such as access and marketing to marginalized or hard-to-reach communities and compensation strategies. Our distinguished panel includes:

Maurita Harris, M.S., from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, whose focus is on community health

Marie A. Statler, Ph.D., an Assistant Professor at Towson University where she teaches undergraduate nurses’ research, diversity & social justice courses

Jacklin Stonewall, M.S., from Iowa State University, whose research is in industrial engineering and human computer interaction

Enid Montague, Ph.D., an Associate Professor at the University of Toronto, whose focus is on the unintended consequences of technology in complex sociotechnical systems


Session organizers and facilitators: Niki Howard and Kenya Oduor

Maurita Harris

M.S.

Ms. Harris’ mission is to ensure unheard voices have a seat at the table when it comes to the design and engagement of technology to support health. Thus, her work focuses on listening to the lived experiences of older adults regarding their health and the technology lifecycle so they can live the life they want to the best of their ability. Ms. Harris is a PhD candidate studying Community Health at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign with Dr. Wendy A. Rogers. She received her B.A. from North Carolina State University in Psychology, and her M.S. from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in Community Health. Her doctoral research focuses on understanding what supports (e.g., design and motivations) the different stages of technology adoption with wearable watches by Black adults with a chronic health condition (e.g., diabetes/sugar). Ms. Harris is part of the DEI and BIPOC affinity group, where she supports the development of information to inform HFES on their diverse members and how to uplift them and their voices.

Jacklin Stonewall
