I have a few exciting updates about this coming May and June! Not only will I be graduating from Simon Fraser University’s School of Interactive Arts + Technology Masters of Arts program in June, but a peer-reviewed paper version of my graduate thesis, “Collective Wisdom”: Inquiring into Collective Homes as a Site for HCI Design, will be published at CHI 2019. The ACM CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems is the premier international conference of Human-Computer Interaction. CHI – pronounced ‘kai’ – is a place where researchers and practitioners gather from across the world to discuss the latest in interactive technology. I’ll be presenting my work –part of the Other Homes research – in Glasgow, May 4-9.

Following CHI, I will be presenting a digital poster of Manifesting Resistance at HASTAC 2019, May 16–18, at UBC in Vancouver. HASTAC (Humanities, Arts, Science, and Technology Alliance and Collaboratory) is an interdisciplinary community of humanists, artists, social scientists, scientists, and technologists changing the way we teach and learn. The HASTAC 2019 theme is “Decolonizing Technologies, Reprogramming Education”. The conference, taking place on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓-speaking Musqueam (xʷməθkʷəy̓əm) people, will hold up and support Indigenous scholars and knowledges, centering work by Indigenous women and women of colour.
