SUMMARY:Human Factors for a Better World: Case Studies in Community Ergono
 mics
DESCRIPTION:Hanna J. Barton (University of Wisconsin - Madison), Maurita T
 . Harris (Wilfrid Laurier University), Andrew Thatcher (University of the 
 Witwatersrand), Wendy A. Rogers (University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign),
  Dan Nathan-Roberts (San José State University), Leah Newman (Milwaukee Sc
 hool of Engineering), and Carlo Caponecchia (University of New South Wales
 )\n\nThere is great potential for Human Factors and Ergonomic approaches t
 o be applied to improve the health and quality of life of marginalized and
  minoritized populations. At the 38th Annual Meeting of the Human Factors 
 and Ergonomics Society, Michael J. Smith and colleagues first introduced t
 he concept of community ergonomics to suggest just that. Their initial con
 ceptualization of community ergonomics was of designing the “interfaces be
 tween people and system design in societal context” (Smith et al., 2002, p
 . 289). In a recent paper, Barton et al. (2025) reflect on the progress we
  have made in the area of community ergonomics, present six lessons learne
 d derived from a variety of case studies, and conclude that these lessons 
 learned point to a fundamental gap between the epistemological traditions 
 in which most Human Factors professionals are trained and the skills and a
 pproaches required to effectively and ethically collaborate with community
 . This panel aims to bring additional case studies of community-engaged wo
 rk into conversation with Barton et al. (2025)'s lessons learned and expan
 d on the recommendations for shifting our epistemological starting point a
 nd, consequently, our methodologies.\n\nTrack: Product Design\n\nSession C
