This paper presents the results of a long-term exploratory study that examined the social and emotional impact of using a social robot with a variety of applications to promote activities for people with advanced dementia and their caregivers. ...

Within Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW), efforts to digitalize work contribute to continual economic growth by, e.g., enhancing work productivity and mediating workflows of capitalist firms to accumulate more and evermore capital at the expense ...

This special interest group invites participants to critically examine the complex interplay between interventionist Information and Communication Technology (ICT) projects and (historical) contexts of conflict and colonialism. It aims to open ...

At a time when Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming human life, it is crucial to ensure that its development is consistent with ethical standards and humanistic values. This paper aims to initiate a dialogue on the adoption of a ...

This SIG delves into the multifaceted dynamics of conducting ethnographic research in volatile environments marked by political unrest, conflict, economic or natural disasters. Our aim is to start nuanced discussions to critically examine the ethical, ...

Technology plays a pivotal role in driving transformation through grassroots movements, which operate on a local scale while embracing a global perspective on sustainability. Consequently, research emerged within Sustainable HCI, aiming to derive design ...

HCI and CSCW have a long-standing interest in the consequences of digital transformation for work practices. A key part of this is its impact on labour relations. While prior HCI studies have examined labour relations in domains such as platform work, ...

Previous CSCW research has paid increasing attention to regional innovation systems providing the context for CSCW research and design. In this paper we provide insights into attempts to intervene in such a regional innovation system via practice-...

Social media technologies have been empowering to some human rights activists, providing a platform for exercising free speech and mobilization. However, many activists have voiced concerns and shared experiences they understand as considerable ...

Since 2014, Botswana's Okavango Delta has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage site. One effect has been to parse the conservation area from human settlements, thus aggravating the conflict between local cattle farmers and predatory animals, ...

Dynamic markets and constantly changing work practices are causing an increased number of industrial set-up operations on production machines in the wake of a growing demand for customized product requirements. Augmented reality (AR)-based cyber-...

This paper presents the outcomes of an exploratory study that examined the social impact of a social robot with a suite of different robotic-based exergames for people with dementia and their caregivers. Qualitative data was collected over a period of ...

Research connecting the ‘Global South’ and ‘Global North’ is not new to HCI. However, over the last few years we have seen a prominent shift in the ways we understand, represent and engage in North-South collaborations. Central to these discussions is ...

Sustainable HCI and Human-Food-Interaction research have developing interest in preventing food waste through food sharing. Sustainability requires attention to both the opportunities and challenges associated with the building of food sharing groups ...

Since the move away from integrated value chains in production in the 1980s, the outsourcing and offshoring of various aspects of manufacturing has become commonplace. This has led to global production and marketing relationships between enterprises in ...

This paper focuses on tools to approach the practices inherent to the formal and informal e-waste value-chains in Ghana. Our series of field trips and interviews with e-waste collectors and scrap workers, repairers and retailers at their respective ...

Intercultural studies are scarce but yet insightful to better understand reactions of older adults to human-like Android robot behavior. They help to see which reactions of participants are universal and which are country specific. Research with ...

Within CSCW and HCI, an increasing body of literature has been demonstrating the essential relevance of infrastructures and infrastructuring to the work of people engaging in technologically mediated nomadicity. Tech Nomads – or T-Nomads, as they ...
