Workshop: People Beyond ‘Users’: Interpreting the "layers" of Data Through an Anthropological Lens

In this thought-provoking session, cross-cultural anthropologist Yeon Sue Park invites teams to look past numbers and rediscover the human stories embedded in data. Through the lens of anthropology, participants learn to interpret user behavior with nuance and empathy—bridging cultural context with organizational goals.

Why it matters

  • Empathy

    Understanding people beyond their “user” label fosters stronger, more human-centered decision-making.

  • Critical Thinking

    Applying an anthropological lens sharpens the ability to question assumptions and analyze complexity.

What's included

  • 45-minute workshop led by Yeon Sue Park
  • Full organization of the workshop and speaker management at your office or online
  • Pre-experience toolkit to deepen reflection and guide workplace application.
