Research through Art in CSCW: lecture by Kellie Dunn (MS '20), PhD fellow, University of Copenhagen
Please join HCDE for a talk with visiting researcher Kellie Dunn—an HCDE MS alumnus and current PhD fellow at the University of Copenhagen.
Title:
Research through Art in CSCW
Talk Info:
Kellie’s PhD explores how artistic practice and interdisciplinary exchanges such as art-research-industry collaborations can inform theoretical understandings of cooperative work as well as the design of future work technologies and systems. What is the potential role of art in researching and designing for the future of collaborative work?
This research is situated within the current literature, conversation, and state of the art in Computer Supported Cooperative Work, and informed by arts-based, design-based, and futuring approaches in Human Computer Interaction. Kellie is seated in the Human Centred Computing section of the University of Copenhagen’s Department of Computer Science, and supervised by Pernille Bjørn. This research is also part of the multi-institutional research project ReWork, which investigates the…

The HCDE & DUB community is invited to attend a dissertation proposal defense by PhD candidate Julie Vera.
Extreme Weather in Social Information Ecosystems: Toward a Theory of Sensemaking in Public, Proposal Abstract:As extreme weather events become more frequent, social media ecosystems have increasingly become primary sources of information for severe weather events. While platforms such as Twitter/X have been extensively examined through crisis informatics frameworks, we lack comprehensive understanding of how extreme weather communications and sensemaking processes have evolved on newer, visually-oriented platforms such as TikTok and YouTube, particularly where algorithms oriented towards engagement may conflict with accuracy imperatives for safety-critical information.
This dissertation investigates how different social information ecosystems enable public sensemaking during extreme weather events, addressing gaps at the intersection of crisis communication, platform studies, and collective sensemaking…
