Profile

Dr Rosendy Galabo is a Research Associate for the Beyond Imagination project at ImaginationLancaster. His research focuses on developing equitable ways of living and working together by creating physical, digital, and institutional infrastructures that enable communities to collectively transform their current situations into more sustainable ones through co-design.

He previously conducted his PhD research as part of the Leapfrog project, where he delivered a series of co-design workshops to academics and public sector practitioners in the short project called Improve It. In these workshops, participants, as experts in their own field, co-designed improvements of tools and evaluated which suggestions led to the transformation of their engagement practices.

His current research interest focuses on design for sustainable transitions, new distributed co-design approaches, digital engagement
