SUMMARY:Shōwa Day
DESCRIPTION:Shōwa Day is a Japanese annual holiday held on April 29. It honors the birthday of Emperor Shōwa\, the reigning emperor from 1926 to 1989. Shō means “shining” or “bright”\, and wa means “peace”\, signifying the “enlightened peace” that citizens receive. According to the now defunct Democratic Party of Japan\, the purpose of the holiday is to encourage public reflection on the turbulent 63 years of Hirohito’s reign. Coincidentally\, Shōwa Day happens on the same date that in 1948 the Allies’ International Military Tribunal for the Far East condemned key officials of the Imperial government during World War II to death\, including former Prime Minister Hideki Tojo.

SUMMARY:Imagining SIGCHI Futures
DESCRIPTION:SIGCHI is turning 40 this year! This milestone gives us an opportunity to not only celebrate and reflect on how far HCI has come as a field\, but also imagine its future trajectories. In this open session\, we will take stock of SIGCHI’s past and present and envision how it might evolve over the next few decades along the dimensions the community cares about most\, such as infrastructures for mentorship\, sustainability\, accessibility\, among others. This will be a precursor to the “SIGCHI Turns 40” SIG at CHI 2022\, where we will continue to develop aspirations and\, importantly\, concrete avenues towards a thriving SIGCHI community. To sustain these brainstorming efforts\, this open session and the SIG to follow will inform the workings of the new Futuring SIGCHI committee\, through which early career professionals can lead projects that help realize community visions for SIGCHI—look out for an open call in coming weeks and get involved! \nPlease join this open session via Zoom. \nLet us know (via email: sigchi-access@acm.org) if you have any accessibility requests (e.g.\, CART\, SLI)\, and we will do our best to accommodate them. If possible\, please give us a few days to make necessary arrangements.

SUMMARY:Liberation Day
DESCRIPTION:Liberation Day is a day\, often a public holiday\, that marks the liberation of a place\, similar to an independence day. Liberation marks the date of either a revolution\, as in Cuba\, the fall of an oppressive regime\, as in Portugal\, or the end of an occupation by another state\, as in the Netherlands\, thereby differing from independence in the meaning of secession from another country.

SUMMARY:Easter Monday
DESCRIPTION:Easter Monday is the day after Easter Sunday and a public holiday in some countries. It is the second day of Eastertide. In Western Christianity\, it is also the second day of the Octave of Easter\, and in Eastern Christianity\, it is also the second day of Bright Week. Easter Monday is celebrated in the Catholic church and also called the Monday of the Angel “because we recall the meeting of the angel with the women who arrived at Jesus’s tomb. The angel said to them: “I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for he has risen. This expression “He has risen” goes beyond human capacity. Even the women who had gone to the tomb and had found it open and empty could not confirm “He has risen”\, but they could only say that the tomb was empty. “He has risen” is a message… Source: Duckduckgo API

SUMMARY:Easter Sunday
DESCRIPTION:Easter\, also called Pascha\, Zatik or Resurrection Sunday\, is a Christian festival and cultural holiday commemorating the resurrection of Jesus from the dead\, described in the New Testament as having occurred on the third day of his burial following his crucifixion by the Romans at Calvary c. 30 AD. It is the culmination of the Passion of Jesus\, preceded by Lent\, a 40-day period of fasting\, prayer\, and penance. Most Christians refer to the week before Easter as Holy Week\, which in Western Christianity contains the days of the Easter Triduum including Maundy Thursday\, commemorating the Maundy and Last Supper\, as well as Good Friday\, commemorating the crucifixion and death of Jesus. In Eastern Christianity\, the same days and events are commemorated with the names of days all starting with “Holy” or “Holy and Great;” and Easter itself might be called “Great and Holy Pascha”\, “Easter Sunday\,” “Pascha” or “Sunday of Pascha.” Source: Duckduckgo API

DESCRIPTION:Technologies invade our everyday lives\, take part in constructing our identity\, classify (often violently) bodies\, and\, pushed by recent regulations on social distancing\, play an expanding role in connecting families and friends.  The effects of this rapid increase of technological dependency\, though\, further exacerbate existing inequalities\, introduce new ones\, but also lead to previously less apparent pockets of freedom. \nIn a series of biweekly talks\, the project “Exceptional Norms”\, part of the HCI Group of the Faculty of Informatics at TU Wien\, invites interested audiences to participate in critically engaging with recent scholarship on technology assessment. Our speakers are trailblazing scholars and internationally renowned experts from a range of (inter)disciplinary standpoints in conversation with Austrian researchers as hosts. \nPlease register for this free lecture series (held on Zoom) here. \nRecordings of selected previous lectures are available on youtube. \nUpcoming \nNovember 26th\, 2020 – 4pm (CET\, Vienna) – Angelika Strohmayer (Northumbria University\, UK) \nJustice\, but for whom? – Notes on Designing with Marginalised and Criminalised Populations \nRSVP: \nhttps://forms.gle/NGH6bhU4w3uGV8ki9

SUMMARY:Planning a Virtual Experience Research Accelerator (VERA)
DESCRIPTION:Would you like to be able to run a virtual reality (VR) user study with a large and diverse participant population\, for free? \nAttend one of our information and discussion sessions to find out how we are working to make this a possibility. We will hold two sessions on April 6\, 2022: 0900-1030 EDT (Zoom link: https://ucf.zoom.us/j/91238845379) and 1500-1630 EDT (Zoom link: https://ucf.zoom.us/j/93041763888). In these sessions we will share our vision and our ongoing work/plans towards a US National Science Foundation proposal to build a Virtual Experience Research Accelerator (VERA)\, a community resource that will enable VR researchers to carry out studies using large and diverse populations\, thus enabling high-quality human subject research studies that will generalize to the population at large. \nFollowing on previous sessions at IEEE VR 2022 (link: https://ieeevr.org/2022/program/panels/#VERA) and IEEE ISMAR 2021 (link: https://ismar21.org/program/panels-and-discussions/)\, we will: provide an overview of VERA and open up the floor for discussion on multiple topics. \nWe provide a brief summary of VERA below\, and a more extensive description on this webpage (link: https://sreal.ucf.edu/vera-summary/). \nWhat is VERA and who is it for? \nVERA is a community resource for virtual reality (VR) researchers that will enable VR researchers to carry out studies using large and diverse populations\, thus enabling high-quality human subject research studies that will generalize to the population at large. VERA personnel\, comprising investigators\, paid staff\, and volunteers from the VR community\, will coordinate and facilitate the turn-key execution of VR user studies carried out with a carefully curated large and diverse VERA participant pool. VR community researchers will submit research study proposals to VERA\, the studies will be run with the participant pool\, and the resulting measures will be collected from each participant and stored in a centralized repository. \nWhy do we need VERA? \nThe potential benefits of VR should be available to everyone\, regardless of their age\, gender\, race\, culture\, ethnicity\, class\, ability\, neurodiversity\, etc.\, but the vast majority of VR research studies rely on relatively small convenience samples of college-aged participants\, e.g.\, majority White and middle to upper class undergraduate students\, which results in study populations that are not representative of the population at large\, and findings that are not generalizable. \nWho is involved? \nThis effort is led by Greg Welch\, Tabitha Peck\, Valerie Jones Taylor\, Gerd Bruder\, and Jeremy Bailenson\, with Nahal Norouzi and Ryan Schubert. \nPlease contact Greg Welch at Welch@ucf.edu if you have any questions.
