I’ll be presenting this work at #CSCW2025 in Bergen on Tuesday at 2:30PM! We will be part of the session “Core Concepts in Privacy Research” (in the Bekken room) chaired by @emtseng.bsky.social ☺️

Decentralized social media lets people build custom communities, but what happens when communities interact? New #CSCW2025 work by @s0hw.bsky.social, Priyanka Nanayakkara, and Yan Shvartzshnaider explores how trust — and frictions — shape expectations on the #Fediverse

Just started a Slack workspace for my research group!!!!!!!!!!!!

FYI: The Spencer Foundation, Kapor Foundation, The William T. Grant Foundation, and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation have collaborated to offer $25K rapid response grants. "This rapid response bridge funding opportunity is for scholars and teams whose grants have recently been cancelled by NSF."

Rapid Response Bridge Funding Program

In the face of recent abrupt shifts in federal funding for education research, including large-scale terminations of National Science Foundation (NSF) research grant awards, we have developed a rap...

📢 The First Workshop on Sociotechnical #AI Governance at #CHI2025 (STAIG@CHI’25) is less than a week away! 🤩 We are super excited to invite Roel Dobbe from TU Delft for our keynote "Algorithmic Harm and Safety Are Sociotechnical, But Are Our Interventions?" Join us in Yokohama or online!!

Spending my Friday night writing up explainers for how research grants work is becoming normal now, I guess. My attempt at explaining indirect research costs and why it should matter to EVERYONE that our federal research funds are being decimated. www.kateringland.com/the-hidden-b...

The Hidden Backbone of Research: How a 15% Cap on Indirect Costs Will Devastate Universities

So, if we’re serious about keeping research alive, it’s time to push back. Because 15% isn’t just a cut—it’s a death sentence for academic institutions as we know them.

An alt title for our paper might’ve been “so you’ve decided to use LLMs; how do you even do rigorous science with them in HCI?” arxiv.org/abs/2501.12557 for use in your human-AI interaction CHI camera-readies 😌 #CHI2025

Understanding the LLM-ification of CHI: Unpacking the Impact of LLMs at CHI through a Systematic Literature Review

Large language models (LLMs) have been positioned to revolutionize HCI, by reshaping not only the interfaces, design patterns, and sociotechnical systems that we study, but also the research practices...

Researchers should think about how the LLM’s role in the work relates to potential limitations of the system AND resulting claims made in a study of that system, particularly when using or studying closed models. Here are a few q's to consider:

I’m at #CSCW2024, which feels like the right place to use Bluesky for the first time! I’m recruiting PhD students to UW HCDE who want to think about digital safety from a sociotechnical lens.

Recently migrated colleagues: I’m on the job market! I’ll have a PhD from Cornell IS in 2024. My lab will explore how tenets of social responsibility can be realized in computer science + engineering. I’m open to TT faculty positions and research-oriented industry roles. More about me: emtseng.me
