CU Boulder Information Science @ CSCW 2024
The ACM Conference on Computer-Supported Cooperative Work and Social Computing (CSCW) is taking place in San José, Costa Rica, on November 9–13, 2024. Papers presented at this conference are published in the journal Proceedings of the ACM on Human-Computer Interaction, and this is a major publication venue for many faculty and students in the Information Science department at University of Colorado Boulder.
The general scope of CSCW is the “design and use of technologies that affect groups, organizations, communities, and networks.” The research published as part of this year’s conference covers multiple aspects of social media, data, and human experiences. Thanks to our university’s open access deal with ACM, all of the papers linked below are available for anyone to read!
