132: Other people’s problems and tips for community funding with Behzod Sirjani

Researcher and photographer Behzod Sirjani has dedicated his career towards the understanding of culture. It has come through the lens of both social media, at Facebook and more recently with remote and digital work at Slack. The interactions we’ve engaged in online have changed significantly from our face-to-face communications of the past, and as such, we now see our peers much differently. Our access to their interests, their views, and how they interact is on full display. These cultural nuances, through Sirjani’s role as Senior Researcher at Slack, present themselves as key determinants of how digital work culture moves forward. The inclusion of photography has also given him an added tool to force him to observe and be present as things play out around him.Interview by Eugene KanTranscript &amp; Text by Alek RoseAudio by Elphick WoPhotos by Behzod SirjaniSee the full story here: https://www.maekan.com/article/product-research-through-culture-behzod-sirjani-and-how-slack-humanizes-workWhat is MAEKAN?MAEKAN is a membership-based publication and community focused on the sights and sounds of creative culture.
