SUMMARY:HCII Seminar Series -  Marshini Chetty
DESCRIPTION:“Imagine All The People On A Trustworthy Internet” \n  \nImagine a world where the Internet caters to all types of users and hosts trustworthy content. Right now\, this world seems far off for many reasons. For instance\, this world would require us to think more broadly of user needs beyond an `average’ tech-savvy adult user—one who is assumed to be always online with a reliable Internet connection. Moreover\, this world would require us to host content that is not misleading or manipulative in some way—content that can be evaluated at face value by various users. To achieve this lofty goal\, we first need to deeply understand and catalogue different types of Internet users’ needs and also develop ways to assess and make misleading online content more apparent to end-users. \n  \nIn this talk\, I will present a set of case studies from my research lab that helps further the goal of a trustworthy Internet for all. I will describe various projects geared at understanding a wide variety of Internet users’ needs for online privacy and security in different contexts from children to those in developing contexts. I will also describe work that provides empirical evidence of misleading content online such as `dark patterns’ and disguised advertisements and creates solutions to help users to better evaluate this content. These case studies will demonstrate how important it is to study the privacy and security needs of those who do not fit the “average” user mold and demonstrate possible solutions for helping users gain more trust in information on the Internet. I conclude with open questions for imagining an Internet which is more trustworthy and inclusive to all people. \nSpeaker’s Bio \nMarshini Chetty is an assistant professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Chicago where she directs the Amyoli Internet Research Laboratory (AIR lab). She specializes in human-computer interaction\, usable privacy and security\, and ubiquitous computing. Her work has won best paper and honorable mention awards at SOUPS\, CHI\, and CSCW\, and she was a co-recipient of the Annual Privacy Papers for Policymakers award. Her research has been featured in the NYTimes\, CNN\, Washington Journal\, BBC\, Chicago Tribune\, The Guardian\, WIRED\, and Slashdot. She has received generous funding from the National Science Foundation\, through grants and a CAREER award\, as well as the National Security Agency\, Facebook\, and multiple Google Faculty Research Awards. Marshini started her journey in the USA after she completed her MSc.\, BSc.(Hons)\, and BSc. in Computer Science at the University of Cape Town\, South Africa (her beautiful home country). She received her PhD in Human-Centered Computing from Georgia Institute of Technology where she was advised by Prof. Rebecca Grinter. Marshini subsequently completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the College of Computing with Prof. Keith Edwards. Following another postdoctoral fellowship at ResearchICTAfrica\, she also held faculty positions at University of Maryland\, College Park\, and Princeton University before moving to Chicago. \n  \nhttps://www.hcii.cmu.edu/news/seminar/event/2021/09/hcii-seminar-series-marshini-chetty

SUMMARY:HCII Seminar Series - Susan Wyche
DESCRIPTION:“Reconsidering Human-Centered Approaches to Design in Human-Computer Interaction and Development (HCI4D): Using Design Methods to Reimagine Technology in Rural Kenya” \nEnthusiasm for using human-centered design persists among HCI and HCI4D researchers and practitioners; funding agencies continue to support efforts to use this design strategy in development projects. However\, few—if any—of these projects reach their potential. Given that most of these projects fail\, researchers and practitioners might consider adopting different approaches to design. In this talk\, I will offer an alternative to human-centered design. This approach draws from 10+ years of studying technology use in sub-Saharan Africa\, in (primarily Kenyan) sites\, as well as my training as an industrial designer. In particular\, I will present three case studies detailing my use of these design methods in research conducted in rural Kenya: cultural probes\, speculative design\, and design workbooks. My findings raise questions about generalizability\, objectivity\, and the pursuit of a single solution in design. These findings also draw attention to different ways for people to participate in design processes\, and to the value of long-term engagement with communities. \nSpeaker’s Bio \nDr. Susan Wyche (she/her) is an Associate Professor in the Department of Media and Information at Michigan State University (MSU) and has a courtesy appointment in MSU’s African Studies Center. Her research primarily contributes to the Human Computer Interaction (HCI) and Information and Communication Technology for Development (ICTD) fields. She is interested in developing an understanding of technology use in sub-Saharan Africa\, that is grounded in people’s experiences. To achieve this goal\, she conducts fieldwork in—primarily Kenyan sites—that she has been visiting since 2008. This research is funded by awards from Google\, Facebook\, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID)\, and the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Dr. Wyche is a 2015 recipient of an NSF CAREER Award. She earned her PhD in Human-Centered Computing from Georgia Tech\, an MS from Cornell University\, and an undergraduate degree in Industrial Design from Carnegie Mellon University.  Susan also worked as a professional designer in the housewares industry\, prior to pursuing her PhD. \n  \nhttps://www.hcii.cmu.edu/news/seminar/event/2021/09/hcii-seminar-series-susan-wyche

SUMMARY:Morgan Ames on The Charisma Machine: The Life\, Death\, and Legacy of One Laptop per Child
DESCRIPTION:Drawing on her book\, The Charisma Machine\, Ames chronicles the life and legacy of the One Laptop per Child project and explains why — despite its failures — the same utopian visions that inspired OLPC still motivate other projects trying to use technology to “disrupt” education and development. \nAnnounced in 2005 by MIT Media Lab cofounder Nicholas Negroponte\, One Laptop per Child promised to transform the lives of children across the Global South with a small\, sturdy\, and cheap laptop computer\, powered by a hand crank. In reality\, the project fell short in many ways\, starting with the hand crank\, which never materialized. Yet the project remained charismatic to many who were enchanted by its claims of access to educational opportunities previously out of reach. Behind its promises\, OLPC\, like many technology projects that make similarly grand claims\, had a fundamentally flawed vision of who the computer was made for and what role technology should play in learning. \nBased on archival work and an ethnography of a model OLPC project in Paraguay\, this talk will discuss how the laptops were not only frustrating to use\, easy to break\, and hard to repair\, they were designed for “technically precocious boys” — idealized younger versions of the developers themselves — rather than the diverse range of children who actually used them. Reaching fifty years into the past and across the globe\, Ames offers a cautionary tale about the allure of technology hype and the problems that result when utopian dreams drive technology development. \nSpeaker’s Bio: \nMorgan G. Ames researches the ideological origins of inequality in the technology world\, with a focus on utopianism\, childhood\, and learning. The questions that drive her current projects concern the ways in which young people construct their identities with computers\, and how computers (and the technology design practices that produced them) shape the identities they construct. \nMorgan is an assistant adjunct professor in the School of Information at the University of California\, Berkeley\, where she teaches in Data Science and administers the Designated Emphasis in Science and Technology Studies in affiliation with the Center for Science\, Technology\, Medicine and Society. She is also affiliated with the Algorithmic Fairness and Opacity Working Group\, the Center for Science\, Technology\, Society and Policy\, and the Berkeley Institute of Data Science. \nHer PhD is in communication (with a minor in anthropology) from Stanford\, where her dissertation won the Nathan Maccoby Outstanding Dissertation Award. She has a B.A. in computer science and M.S. in information science\, both from the University of California\, Berkeley\, and has worked as a researcher at Google\, Yahoo!\, Nokia\, and Intel. \nHer research has been funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF)\, Intel\, and other organizations\, and she has been invited to present her work at conferences around the world\, including South by Southwest (SXSW). She has won multiple “Best of CSCW” awards\, and she is first author on the most-cited paper of CHI 2007. \nLink: https://scs.hosted.panopto.com/Panopto/Pages/Viewer.aspx?id=623dc5a2-0045-4967-b8d4-acbb011beef0

SUMMARY:Oliver Haimson  on "Designing Trans Technology"
DESCRIPTION:Transgender and nonbinary people face substantial challenges in the world\, ranging from social inequities and discrimination to lack of access to resources. Though technology cannot fully solve these problems\, technological solutions may help to address some of the challenges trans people and communities face. In this talk I will discuss what “trans technology” means\, and how it can be designed. Drawing from participatory design research with trans and nonbinary people\, I detail four types of technologies trans people envision: technologies for changing bodies\, technologies for changing appearances and gender expressions\, technologies for safety\, and technologies for finding resources. I show how centering trans people in the design process enabled inclusive technology design that primarily focused on sharing community resources and prioritized connection between community members. Next\, I will discuss some of my research conceptualizing life transitions more broadly and people’s online sharing behaviors surrounding them. Finally\, I will describe next steps for trans technology design and life transitions research. \nSpeaker’s Bio: \nOliver Haimson is an Assistant Professor at University of Michigan School of Information and a recipient of a National Science Foundation CAREER award. He conducts social computing research focused on understanding and designing for social technology use during life transitions\, with a primary research goal of impacting technological inclusion of marginalized users. One of his main research areas is transgender experiences with social technologies. His research has been published in conferences and journals including CHI\, CSCW\, TOCHI\, New Media and Society\, and Social Media + Society. \n\n\nVideo: Seminar Video

SUMMARY:Ayanna M Howard on Understanding and Mitigating Bias and Human Overtrust in Robotics and AI
DESCRIPTION:People tend to overtrust sophisticated computing devices\, including robotic systems. As these systems become more fully interactive with humans during the performance of day-to-day activities\, the role of bias in these human-robot interaction scenarios must be more carefully investigated.  Bias is a feature of human life that is intertwined\, or used interchangeably\, with many different names and labels – stereotypes\, prejudice\, implicit or subconsciously held beliefs. In the digital age\, this bias has often been encoded in and can manifest itself through AI algorithms\, which humans then take guidance from\, resulting in the phenomenon of excessive trust. Trust conveys the concept that when interacting with intelligent systems\, humans tend to exhibit similar behaviors as when interacting with other humans; thus\, the concern is that people may under-appreciate or misunderstand the risk associated with handing over decisions to an intelligent agent.  Bias further impacts this potential risk for trust\, or overtrust\, in that these systems are learning by mimicking our own thinking processes\, inheriting our own implicit biases. Consequently\, the propensity for trust and the potential of bias may have a direct impact on the overall quality of the interaction between humans and machines\, whether the interaction is in the domains of healthcare\, job-placement\, or other high-impact life scenarios. In this talk\, we will discuss this phenomenon of integrated trust and bias through the lens of intelligent systems that interact with people in scenarios that are realizable in the near-term. \nSpeaker’s Bio \nDr. Ayanna Howard is the newly appointed Dean for the College of Engineering at The Ohio State University. Previously\, she was the Linda J. and Mark C. Smith Professor in Bioengineering and Chair of the School of Interactive Computing at the Georgia Institute of Technology. She also held a faculty appointment in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering and currently serves on the Board of Directors for the Partnership on AI and Autodesk. \nPrior to Georgia Tech\, Dr. Howard was at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory where she held the title of Senior Robotics Researcher and Deputy Manager in the Office of the Chief Scientist. Her research encompasses advancements in artificial intelligence (AI)\, assistive technologies\, and robotics\, and has resulted in over 250 peer-reviewed publications. At NASA\, she worked on designing advanced technologies for future Mars rover missions. Now\, she works on projects ranging from healthcare robots to developing methods to mitigate bias and trust in AI.  In 2013\, she founded Zyrobotics\, an education technology startup\, which designs AI-powered STEM tools and learning games for early childhood education. She has also served as the Associate Director of Research for the Institute for Robotics and Intelligent Machines\, Chair of the Robotics Ph.D. program\, and the Associate Chair for Faculty Development in ECE at Georgia Tech. \nDr. Howard is an IEEE and AAAI Fellow and recipient of the Anita Borg Institute Richard Newton Educator ABIE Award\, CRA A. Nico Habermann Award\, Richard A. Tapia Achievement Award\, NSBE Janice Lumpkin Educator of the Year Award\, and the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society Early Career Award. To date\, Dr. Howard’s unique accomplishments have been highlighted through a number of other public recognitions\, including highlights in Vanity Fair\, USA Today\, Upscale\, Black Enterprise\, and TIME Magazine\, as well as being recognized as one of the 23 most powerful women engineers in the world by Business Insider and one of the Top 50 U.S. Women in Tech by Forbes.  She regularly advises on issues concerning robotics\, AI\, and workforce development\, including functioning as an appointed member of the Georgia State Workforce Development Board and an AI advisor on the YouTube Future of AI documentary series produced by Robert Downey Jr. \nDr. Howard is a frequent speaker and expert source for venues such as CNN and NPR. She regularly gives invited seminars at venues such as the Smithsonian Design Museum\, Science Museum of London\, Detroit Science Museum\, and the National Security Agency.  Her research leadership has also been externally recognized through her role as a U.S. Embassy Speaker Specialist and her Congressional Testimony on Innovation\, just to name a few. \nVideo: Seminar Video

SUMMARY:Denae Ford - "A Tale of Two Cities: Software Developers in Practice During the COVID-19 Pandemic"
DESCRIPTION:The mass shift to working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic radically changed the way many software development teams collaborate\, communicate\, and define productivity. Since the early months of the pandemic\, we have been collecting data on changes in developer productivity\, pivots in strategy to remote onboarding\, and recommendations on how to better support work during this time along social and technical axes. In this talk\, I will present findings from several empirical studies with over 4\,509 responses about the challenges and triumphs software developers have had amidst unconventional work-from-home circumstances and how some developers have taken the pandemic as a call to use their technical abilities to support a broader social good. I will close with open questions about hybrid technical work and how remote work will continue to evolve. \nSpeaker’s Bio \nDr. Denae Ford Robinson is a Senior Researcher at Microsoft Research in the SAINTes group and an Affiliate Assistant Professor in the Human Centered Design and Engineering Department at the University of Washington. Her research lies at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction and Software Engineering. In her work\, she identifies and dismantles cognitive and social barriers by designing mechanisms to support software developer participation in online socio-technical ecosystems. She is best known for her research on just-in-time mentorship as a mode to empower welcoming engagement in collaborative Q&A for online programming communities\, including open-source software and work to empower marginalized software developers in online communities. \nShe received her B.S. and M.S. in Computer Science from North Carolina State University. She also received her Ph.D. in Computer Science and Graduate Minor in Cognitive Science from North Carolina State University. She is also a recipient of the National GEM Consortium Fellowship\, National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship\, and Microsoft Research Ph.D. Fellowship.

SUMMARY:Tawanna Dillahunt: Designing and Rethinking the Role of Digital Tools in Support of Employment among Job Seekers Experiencing Marginalization (CMU HCII Seminar)
DESCRIPTION:Today’s Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) are designed to address one of society’s most pressing problems—unemployment. These technologies are increasingly hailed as enablers of entrepreneurship and income generation\, and they support job seekers’ ability to search for jobs\, create resumes\, highlight skills\, train\, and even help transport people to work. However\, the benefits of employment tools are unequally distributed and such technologies could reinforce social inequalities. Without an understanding of how those experiencing marginalization and who are unemployed use (or don’t use) ICTs for employment\, the same employment inequalities that occur offline will continue in online contexts. In this presentation\, I will discuss the results of several efforts to foster innovation and rethink the design of technologies in support of employment\, particularly for those who were unemployed before the COVID-19 pandemic. I surface broader issues that impact the employment process such as the digital divide and reimagine employment through entrepreneurship and efforts to build community capacity around digital literacy\, \n\n  \nSpeaker’s Bio\nTawanna is an Associate Professor at the University of Michigan’s School of Information and holds a courtesy appointment with the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department. She leads the Social Innovations Group (SIG)\, an interdisciplinary group of individuals whose vision is to design\, build\, and enhance technologies to solve real-world problems affecting marginalized groups and individuals primarily in the U.S. Her current projects aim to address unemployment\, environmental sustainability\, and technical literacy by fostering social and socio-technical capital within these communities. \nTawanna holds a M.S. and Ph.D. in Human-Computer Interaction from Carnegie Mellon University\, a M.S. in Computer Science from the Oregon Health and Science University\, and a B.S. in Computer Engineering from North Carolina State University. She was also a software engineer for several years in Intel Corporation’s Desktop Board and LAN Access Divisions. \nVideo: Seminar Video

SUMMARY:Charlton McIlwain - "Dreams of (Black) Tech Futures Past"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: This is what could have been. If the computer geeks at MIT in 1960 had just held on just a little while longer with our Mississippi freedom riders. If our uprisings in Watts\, and Detroit\, and Newark and Kansas City did not make us the computing revolution’s first problem to solve. If we had averted the collision between civil rights and computing technology that Willard Wirtz once predicted. If we had bothered to seriously engage Roy Wilkins’ admonition to “computerize the race problem.” I walk us through the alternative black technological futures that some had already begun to imagine and design more than fifty years ago. Who what and why were those futures foreclosed upon\, and how did they impact our tech present? Can we still salvage our former technological dreams to imagine – and realize – a different kind of Black future? \nSpeaker’s Bio \nAuthor of the new book Black Software: The Internet & Racial Justice\, From the Afronet to Black Lives Matter\, Charlton McIlwain is Vice Provost for Faculty Engagement & Development at New York University and Professor of Media\, Culture\, and Communication. His work focuses on the intersections of computing technology\, race\, inequality\, and racial justice activism. In addition to Black Software\, McIlwain has authored “Racial Formation\, Inequality & the Political Economy of Web Traffic\,” in the journal Information\, Communication & Society\, and co-authored\, with Deen Freelon and Meredith Clark\, the recent report “Beyond the Hashtags: Ferguson\, #BlackLivesMatter\, and the Online Struggle for Offline Justice.” He recently testified before the U.S. House Committee on Financial Services about the impacts of automation and artificial intelligence on the financial services sector\, and frequently provides commentary on race and technology for outlets such as The Guardian\, MIT Technology Review\, Slate’s FutureTense\, The Christian Science Monitor\, and more. \nVideo Seminar Video

SUMMARY:HCII Virtual Seminar Speaker: Anne Marie Piper
DESCRIPTION:Talk title: Rethinking Design for Accessibility \nAbstract: Approximately 61 million Americans\, or one in four U.S. adults\, have a disability that affects daily life. Despite the prevalence of disability across the lifespan\, accessibility is typically an afterthought in technology design. Discussions of accessibility often center on checklists of requirements and whether or not a system has particular features. In this talk\, I will argue for a view of accessibility that is collaboratively negotiated\, situated\, and enacted through sociomaterial relations. Grounded in extensive field work\, I will present three cases of design for accessibility that shift how we think about building systems with and for individuals with disabilities. These projects detail new systems for collaborative meaning-making in the context of dementia\, online social advocacy among blind and visually impaired older adults\, and ability-diverse group work and design. Collectively\, these projects reveal the interactive nature of accessibility that is often missing in individualistic system design and call attention to the importance of the social and political dimensions of accessibility alongside the technological. \n  \nBio: Anne Marie Piper is an Associate Professor in the Department of Informatics at the University of California\, Irvine.
