the idea of agency as value in design is originated from the value sensitive design (VSD) domain. there are many values mentioned in VSD such as informed consent, privacy, trust etc. I was mostly inspired by VSD and named my approach agency sensitive design. sensitiveness is really a good phrase since it doesn't totally reject existing practices or ways of doing and knowing but at the same time develops an awareness and consideration of related matters at some degree and tries to integrate them into existing approaches. In this respect, sensitivity approaches can be considered as an evolutionary rather than revolutionary. This is again related to balance between familiar and novel.
It would be good to include a little discussion in the thesis about the consideration of agency as a value. Like a value in VSD.
