Reflections: CHI’13 SIG on Interdisciplinary work
Posted by: clare on: May 15, 2013
Two days after the Research-Practice Interaction SIG that I sadly could not attend, I was in the midst of CHI and running our SIG entitled Science vs. Science: the Complexities of Interdisciplinary Research. I organised this SIG with Jofish Kaye, Jill Fantauzzacoffin and David Millard, and Jofish and I were able to be in the [...]
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 [...]
Have you done interdisciplinary work? A call for participation!
Posted by: clare on: May 2, 2013
Have you done interdisciplinary work? Perhaps you’ve worked in Web Science or a related area. Maybe you’re a sociologist who has studied societal impacts of the web, or a designer who has worked on web interfaces for groups. Perhaps you’re a psychologist, criminologist or sociologist with a long-running interest in web-related issues… or an economist, [...]
CHI’13 SIG: Science vs. Science
Posted by: clare on: May 1, 2013
As well as the CHI’13 SIG on Research-Practice Interaction, I’m involved in a SIG entitled Science vs. Science: the Complexities of Interdisciplinary Research. My co-organisers are Jofish Kaye, Jill Fantauzzacoffin and David Millard. This is a topic that has long been close to my heart, and I was particularly inspired to suggest a SIG for CHI’13 [...]
Changing the world through HCI (and WebSci!)
Posted by: clare on: November 23, 2012
Ben Shneiderman visited the University of Southampton this week. Huzzah! I’ve been influenced by Ben’s writing over the last couple of years, particularly his article on Micro- and Macro-HCI, in which Ben calls for an understanding of experiences, emotions, aesthetics and social aspects. (Given that my doctorate concerned understanding social and emotional aspects of experience, [...]
Web Science and Human-Computer Interaction: When Disciplines Collide
Posted by: clare on: June 23, 2012
I’m really excited about the paper I’m presenting today. It’s entitled Web Science and Human-Computer Interaction: When Disciplines Collide. As you might suspect from the title, it concerns the intersections and opportunities involved in the relationship between HCI and WebSci. The story behind the paper is that way back in January, before I started at Newcastle, [...]
Dissecting the Butterfly: Representation of Disciplines Publishing at the Web Science Conference Series
Posted by: clare on: June 22, 2012
Nicolas Marie and I will be presenting at the WebSci’12 poster session tonight. The poster is based on our note, written with Evangelos Kalampokis, entitled Dissecting the Butterfly: Representation of Disciplines Publishing at the Web Science Conference Series. In a nutshell, we’re presenting the method we used to gain initial insight into disciplinary representation at [...]
