|Interest= | |Interest=I am a 2nd yr PhD student at University of Maryland, College Park, in the Human Computer Interaction department. My interests lie in studying Information & Communication technologies (ICTs)' history of development (what guided it) and how "users" and "use" have been conceived. ICTs - a constellation of technologies (search systems, phone as an opertaing system, cross-device browsing, web accounts , etc.) are organizing, managing and acting as medium to information in our everyday lives. Various problems of access hide under the claims of "intuitiveness" of such technologies, when their operations are becoming more and more black-box to users. Moreover - not everyone forms the same conceptual models of technologies (how they process our information, work in a web of tech etc. ), further unclear how they form operational models. Our systems don't account for such a diverse understanding of how people make sense of comlpex, interconnected systems from their unique standpoint - social context, past tech exposure etc. One such example is - not everyone uses the same vocabulary to refer to technology functions, tasks etc. | ||
In terms of this workshop - I see a lot of overlapping interests with blackbox models/ narratives of info processing, decentralized & distributed sensemaking, discovery, search, synthesis, accessibility, NLP. | |||
