Welcome to Verstehen!  This blog, Verstehen, or “meaningful understanding,” a concept envisioned by Max Weber, is about building understandings relevant to user experience design.  As the web address suggests, the blog seeks to understand human nature and the design considerations around it.  The blog highlights topics relating to human ecology and how people interact with each other and the environments they encounter.  The intent of this blog is to coalesce insights, spur discussions, and advance mixed methods relating to user experience design.  We hope that you will contribute your voice and experiences as well!
