Subject: workshop on critical reflection in human-computer interaction
Dear SLSA members,
Those of you interested in human-computer interaction (HCI) or its
critiques may be interested in the following workshop. The goal is to
continue to develop the critically reflective wing of HCI and to better
incorporate influences from critical theory, phenomenology, etc. into
technology design.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Best wishes,
Phoebe Sengers

Call For Participation
Reflective HCI:
Articulating a Research Agenda for Critical Practice
A workshop at CHI 2005
http://cemcom.infosci.cornell.edu/reflectiveHCI/
Although practitioners have engaged in critical reflection on our
discipline for a long time, HCI still lacks a systematic critical
agenda. Critically reflective research is now beginning to flourish
in HCI, appropriating a variety of new practices, concepts,
methodologies, and theories from critically reflective disciplines
such as phenomenology, critical theory, Bakhtinian philosophy,
critical design, and cultural-historical activity theory. It is
time to develop a detailed research agenda to guide ongoing
critically-reflective research into a full-scale complement to
engineering and cognitive approaches. This workshop aims to develop
this agenda by soliciting the community for key issues and by
developing and refining those issues into a coherent agenda during
the workshop itself.
To take part, please submit a position paper with the following 3 parts:
1. A one- to two-sentence characterization of a research issue you
believe is key for the development of reflective HCI.
2. A one- to two-paragraph description of why this issue is an
important one for reflective HCI to address.
3. A 2-3 page discussion of how you address this issue concretely in
your own research (for example, through a case study).
Issues explored in the workshop will be documented in an overview
article developed in conjunction with the workshop.
Please submit your paper as a Word or PDF file by email to
sengers@cs.cornell.edu. Position papers must be received by December
15, 2005. Participants will be notified of selection by January 15,
2006.

Paul Dourish, University of California, Irvine
