Description
Aaron Kagan is a UX Researcher at Google, and what I would call an “Industrial Phenomenologist.” Phenomenology is really just the rigorous study of experience, so who better to work on User Experience? In this episode, Aaron walks us through his journey from philosophy to becoming a successful professional DJ, and how he parlayed his academic expertise into a career in tech.
Beyond his day job, Aaron is a committed advocate for careers for philosophers in industry, and is currently chair of the American Philosophical Association’s Non-Academic Careers Committee, and holds regular “office hours” at the Daily Nous.
