WebSci and the Two Hundred Cultures: slides online
Posted by: clare on: May 10, 2013
Hey there Internet! I’ve had requests for access to the slides of my WebSci’13 presentation about the representation of different disciplines within WebSci (a brief overview of the topic is here). The slides are embedded below: I’ll update this post on the weekend to include a link to the paper itself, and you can expect [...]
Web Science and the Two (Hundred) Cultures: Representation of Disciplines Publishing in Web Science
Posted by: clare on: May 3, 2013
Long-term readers may recall that at WebSci’12 last year, I published a paper on representation of disciplines in the Web Science conference series. It was motivated by the ongoing discussion and (at times) uncertainty in the WebSci community about the disciplinary composition of that community, and about defining Web Science itself. The paper explained this [...]
CHI’12: some reflections
Posted by: clare on: May 20, 2012
It’s 8 days since I stumbled — jetlagged, sleep-deprived and brimming over with ideas — back home to Newcastle. This week involved a lot of playing catch-up with the day job (and indeed my life outside of work!), but what better time than a Sunday afternoon to step back and reflect on CHI 2012? Community [...]
DESIRE’11

My role of Communications Chair for the recent DESIRE’11 conference meant that the event had been on my radar for a long time before it actually happened. During DESIRE’11 itself I was still handling organisational aspects, so although I was very pleased to participate, my point of view is different to someone coming in from [...]
Marc Hassenzahl’s DESIRE’11 keynote
Posted by: clare on: October 27, 2011
I’m going to write DESIRE’11 up in the near future, but meanwhile here is a post about Marc Hassenzahl’s invited talk. It was a kick-ass keynote because a) Marc is doing awesome, timely work and b) it turns out he’s very able at communicating that work. Sweet. So: he started by showing the differences in how little boys [...]
TAPT tutorial at DESIRE’11
Posted by: clare on: October 19, 2011
There are various reasons why I’ve been so quiet recently. One of them is the DESIRE’11 conference, which kicked off this week. I’m communications chair, and my duties have covered the good (working with great people), the bad (admin gets dull fast) and the ugly (Easychair :( ). This morning, I ran a tutorial at [...]
On MobileHCI 2011
Posted by: clare on: September 10, 2011
I’ll kick this blog off with a few observations on MobileHCI, which I attended last week. This was my first MobileHCI, so I wasn’t sure what to expect… ‘Please Enjoy’ workshop I was there was to attend Please Enjoy, a workshop on playful mobile interactions. My paper was presenting work I did in collaboration with [...]
