In conclusion:• The value of rich, open-ended, in-depth
qualitative fieldwork
• Take ‘families’ seriously as a demographic, not just the individual or the corporation. (This is more radical than it sounds.)
• Families are increasingly diasporic and we should design for that.
• Provide activities for cross-generational play, not just conversation.
