Academic and Product Research: The Right Recipe for Innovation<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Abstract:<\/strong> Academia and product research can at times seem like two completely separate worlds. In academia, bodies of research and theoretical frameworks are developed over time, while in product research we more quickly investigate questions in the service of business goals. However, academic and product research can often blend together and support each other in a seamless and complementary way, and product especially can be uniquely enriched with the introduction of academic learnings. In this talk, I will explore the ways in which academic research has informed my research experience at both Instagram and Netflix. I will argue that academic research helped inform some of my most impactful product research, and has provided useful frameworks through which I\u2019ve enabled product innovation. I\u2019ll also cover some areas where academic and product research has disagreed, and how I\u2019ve reconciled these differences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bio:<\/strong> Ashlee Edwards is a Senior Product Researcher at Netflix leading research efforts for accessibility, language experience, and international growth. While at Instagram, her work focused on growing and engaging Instagrams user base, crafting a safe and comfortable space for teens on the platform, and understanding international markets. Prior to working in industry, Ashlee\u2019s academic research centered around understanding engagement and frustration with search systems and interactive information retrieval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
