Our story

nexUX was the inspiration of Benjamin Watson, Patrick Fitzgerald and Amber Howard, who saw the need for a community considering technology’s broader human impacts from an interdisciplinary perspective.  With the support of colleagues in industry and faculty from many different colleges, they were given bootstrapping funding by NC State’s RISF program.

With several industry and faculty experts, they organized a small formative meeting in spring of 2013, where they agreed to organize a much larger formative event, nexUX Camp, at which the community could begin coalescing. Please join us there!
