HCDE doctoral students in their second year of the PhD program will overview their research project, discuss research methods and any results thus far, and describe how this research contributes to the field. 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… Event interval: Single day event.

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… Event interval: Single day event.

From Data Activism to Activism in a Time of Dataism: Affirming Epistemological Heterogeneity in Social Movements 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… Event interval: Single day event.

Open Scholarship Commons Community Fellows Workshop Series: Accessibility of Online Data Visualizations

Online data visualizations are used widely by content creators to communicate information, enabling users to obtain summaries, recognize patterns, and explore oddities in data that may be challenging to determine from a data table. However, the defining visual nature of data visualizations makes these visualizations inaccessible to screen-reader users, significantly disenfranchising them from accessing online information (e.g. COVID-19 data). This workshop will facilitate an understanding of the challenges screen-reader users face with online data visualizations, identify ways to make online data visualizations accessible and understand the pros and cons of each, and share possible nuances and future avenues of thinking accessibility outside of the standard solutions. The Open Scholarship Commons (OSC) Community Fellows Workshop Series is a paid fellowship opportunity for graduate students underrepresented in the field of open scholarship. The goal of this Fellowship is to lift up students as experts in… Event interval: Single day event. Campus location: Suzzallo Library (SUZ). Campus room: Open Scholarship Commons: Presentation Space.

Dissertation Defense: Akeiylah DeWitt, "Establishing an HCI Cultural Safety Perspective: How Incorporating Culture in Technology Can Reduce Health Inequity"

The HCDE & DUB community is invited to attend a dissertation defense by PhD Candidate Akeiylah DeWitt. Establishing an HCI Cultural Safety Perspective: How Incorporating Culture in Technology Can Reduce Health Inequity, PhD Candidate: Akeiylah DeWitt Abstract: My dissertation investigates the potential of health technologies to improve child health outcomes while emphasizing diversity and equity. I explore both how mobile health interventions can be beneficial for parents and caregivers, and the potential risks if these technologies are not designed to be equitable and inclusive. My research highlights how current design and research practices often overlook the diverse experiences and contexts of families from diverse cultural backgrounds by surveying existing technologies and connecting with parents. I then demonstrate how we can integrate cultural safety into our practices by developing a heuristic evaluation method and collaborating with communities to create a technology prototype.

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… Event interval: Single day event. Campus location: Student Union Building (HUB). Campus room: 332.
