Presentations will be about 15 minutes with time for a brief Q&A after each talk. The Role of Narrative in Misinformation Education Games
Nisha Devasia, HCDE PhD student
Rapid spread of harmful misinformation has led to a dire need for effective media literacy interventions, to which educational games have been suggested as a possible solution. Researchers and educators have created several games that increase media literacy and resilience to misinformation. However, the existing body of misinformation education games is fairly limited in the variety of approaches; most focus on prebunking misinformation rather than debunking or correcting adopted misinformation, and rarely focus upon the socio-emotional…

Nina Lutz, HCDE PhD student
The Latinx diaspora in the United States is a rapidly growing and complex demographic whose members face intersectional harms and marginalizations in sociotechnical systems and are currently underserved in CSCW research. While the field understands that algorithms and digital content are experienced differently by marginalized populations, more investigation is needed about how Latinx people experience social media and, in particular, visual media. In this paper, we focus on how Latinx people experience the algorithmic…

Adiza Awwal, HCDE PhD student
This paper advances the understanding of the digital and cultural significance of the online community colloquially known as the “black manosphere.” Through the use of Critical technocultural discourse analysis (CTDA) and virtual ethnography on prominent misogynistic content creators on YouTube catering to black males, we analyze the types of strategies for community building, the information environment, and ideological orientation. This work conceptualizes black manosphere as distinct from the…

Anoolia Gakhokidze, HCDE PhD student
Dockworkers, truck drivers, warehouse workers, and cloud computing workers have more in common than might seem at first glance. Our paper argues that cloud computing workers–much like logistics workers—-carry significant positional power in the means of production. With powerful tech companies receiving a substantial chunk of their revenue from the cloud computing services they provide, scholars of labor studies and critical logistics are beginning to theorize data centers as logistics facilities established to…

McKane Andrus, HCDE PhD student
In this paper, we seek to situate the data practices of grassroots activists within the hegemony of dataism in order to better understand the growing number of cases where activists are disempowered by data, even as they appropriate it towards their own ends. The shift towards data-driven governance represents a consolidation of power that has shaped what are considered acceptable means to “know” the world through, and we argue that buying into these privileged epistemologies can pave…

Towards trusted human-centric robot autonomy, Abstract
Autonomous robots are becoming increasingly prevalent in our daily existence, from navigating our roads and sky, assisting in households and warehouses, conducting daring search and rescue missions, and even exploring the frontiers of space. Yet building robots that can safely and fluently interact with humans in a trusted manner remains an elusive task. Ensuring robots can keep a sufficiently safe distance from humans is at odds with fluent interactions, yet humans are remarkable at seamlessly avoiding collision in crowded settings. In this talk, we will study how humans engage in safe and fluent multi-agent interactions and how this can be applied to robot decision-making and control. In the first half of the talk, I will introduce the notion of safety concepts and demonstrate how we can tractably synthesize data-driven safety concepts using control theoretic tools as inductive biases. These data-driven safety concepts are designed to capture how humans…

Dr. Yvette Pearson: Leading Change
There is a well-known saying, “The only constant in life is change.” Yet, when it comes to higher education, particularly in some areas of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), it is hard to move beyond “the way we’ve always done it.” It seems oxymoronic – disciplines known and respected for creativity, innovation, and discovery are stagnated when it comes to change in how we solve problems and in who gets to engage in problem-solving. Building on her concept of ENGINEERING CH∆NGE® Dr. Pearson will share challenges that come with change and insights on navigating those challenges through intentional, iterative, people-centered strategies.

HCDE Distinguished Lecture: Yoel Roth, "Decentralizing online safety and security: The promises and perils of federated social media"
Years of sustained research, activism, regulatory intervention, and investment by civil society and technology platforms has helped bring about awareness of and some degree of control over the harmful externalities generated by social media platforms. As the social media landscape undergoes broad transformation for the first time in over a decade, with alternative platforms like Mastodon, Bluesky, and Threads emerging where Twitter has receded, the temptation has been to celebrate the promise of these new services and their visions of alternative governance structures that empower consumers. Unfortunately, they also have many of the same affordances and propensities for harmful misuse as mainstream, while possessing few if any of the hard-won detection and moderation capabilities necessary to stop them. More troublingly, substantial technological, governance, and financial obstacles exist to developing these necessary functions. Drawing on empirical research into platform moderation capabilities, this talk di…
