3) Socio-Materialising Service Design: Towards More-than-human Ethics This research theme takes a socio-material perspective to study service processes and practices in organisations. Inspired by the recent ‘material turn’ and ‘non-human turn’ it sets out to challenge the common understanding of services as merely immaterial and human-centric processes. Recognising the myriad ways in which ‘social’ and ‘material’ entangle in service processes opens up a fruitful basis for furthering theorisations in service design, and for developing successful service practices and procedures. Extending the scope of agency to include also material things and non-humans (such as animals, insects and plants) plays a significant role in how service processes and practices, as well as the ethics and care, are enacted. This premise enables the development of socially and materially sustainable and ethical conceptualisations for services and practical service solutions. The Co-stars group focuses mainly on the following themes: - Ethical Agencies in Organisational Service Processes - Designing Services for Promixity Tourism
