Diversity & Inclusion @ CSCW 2020<\/h1>

Digital technologies and socio-technical systems have always been deeply intertwined with structures of power, inequality, and exclusion. An engagement with the ethics and politics of computing, and the role technology plays in various forms of injustice, are central to interdisciplinary knowledge production. CSCW officially recognizes scholarly contributions to diversity & inclusion. This includes, among others, scholarly work that raises questions such as: what role can technology research and design play in political mobilization and activism? How do digital technologies reproduce exclusions (or foment new forms of inclusion) along the lines or intersections of gender, race, class, and sexuality? What forms of new labor exploitation are legitimized by novel systems design? How does the political economy of tech innovation shape our own field?<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span>During a typical CSCW conference, we host an annual lunch to recognize and celebrate the diversity and inclusion efforts of our community. Unfortunately, that is not possible this year, so this page is meant to share information and happenings pertaining to D&I efforts that are still happening, including our annual Recognition of Contribution to Diversity and Inclusion awards.<\/p>

As a reminder, all attendees are expected to abide by the <\/span>CSCW Code of Conduct<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>ACM Policy Against Harassment<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>

Diversity & Inclusion Social Hour<\/h2>

Please consider joining us for an informal Diversity & Inclusion Social Hour on Monday, October 19 at 12:30pm CT (UTC -5:00). Links and event information will be provided to attendees in the conference portal.\u00a0<\/p>

2020 Paper Recognitions for Contribution to Diversity & Inclusion<\/h2>
