Participatory Design (PD) is envisioned as an approach to democratizing innovation in the design process by shifting power dynamics between researcher and participant. Recent scholarship HCI has analyzed ways collaborative engagements, such PD situated workshop can amplify voices empower underserved populations. Yet, we argue that instantiated very much affluent privileged activity often neglects challenges associated with envisioning equitable solutions among Based on two series of...

Designing new technologies with and for individuals dementia is a growing topic of interest within HCI. Yet, predominant societal views contribute to the positioning as deficient declining, treat technology filling gap left by impairment. We present perspective critical way reflecting on these in context recent epistemological shifts In addition articulating how HCI can leverage dementia, we case analysis design art therapy involving people aimed at challenging conventional narratives. This...
Online technologies are promising for helping older adults maintain social connectedness, particularly with younger people, yet many resist or participate minimally in the mainstream used by members of their network. We present results from an interview study involving 22 (age 71-92) to understand communication preferences and values related media. Seniors articulate concerns online media, including time required legitimate participation, loss deeper communication, content irrelevance,...
Computational approaches to text analysis are useful in understanding aspects of online interaction, such as opinions and subjectivity text. Yet, recent studies have identified various forms bias language-based models, raising concerns about the risk propagating social biases against certain groups based on sociodemographic factors (e.g., gender, race, geography). In this study, we contribute a systematic examination application language models study discourse aging. We analyze treatment...
While the majority of older adults are now active online, they often perceived as passive consumers online information rather than creators content. As a counter to this view, we examine practices adult bloggers (N=20) through in-depth interviews. We study group unique case content creation and sharing. find that practice creating sharing blogging meets several important psychological social needs for adults. Specifically, supports development identity in adulthood; fosters self-expression...
Children are known to be curious and persistent questionaskers. The pervasiveness of voice interfaces represents an opportunity for children who not yet fluent readers independently search the Internet by asking questions through conversational agents such as Amazon Alexa, Apple's Siri, Google Assistant. Through a two-week, in-home deployment study involving 18 families (children aged 5-6 their parents), we report on which choose ask agent, answers agent provided, challenges in use,...
The increasing pervasiveness of voice input systems in consumer devices (e.g., Apple's iOS Siri) creates the potential for young children to use features and access content that previously required ability read write. However, whether how associated agents on mainstream has not been studied detail. This paper reports preliminary findings from an online survey with parents about children's a analysis YouTube videos depicting child interaction one popular system. Our results reveal three...
Diversifying participation in crowd work can benefit the worker and requester. Increasing numbers of older adults are online, but little is known about their awareness or how they engage mainstream work. Through an online survey with 505 seniors, we found that most have never heard would be motivated to complete tasks by earning money working on interesting stimulating tasks. We follow up results from interviews observations 14 completing While our data suggests financial incentives...
Community-based approaches to participatory design, such as the design workshop, promise engage underserved populations in collaborative dialog and provide a platform for promoting views of communities who are not typically given space design. Yet, we know little about how workshops research site can individuals (i.e., due class, race, or age status) address personal concerns (e.g., health). As way exploring these issues, conducted series five with low-income African-American older adults...
Robots are seen as a potential solution to the perceived needs of aging population. Thus far, research has primarily focused on robotics for functional and emotional support older adults. Robotic pets have been developed adult who is lonely isolated, fears consequently arisen that robots will replace human caregivers deceive adults into developing relationships with them. Missing perspective ethics uses robotic companion pets. In this study, we conducted focus groups 41 We discuss concepts...
Working from home has become a mainstream work practice in many organizations during the COVID-19 pandemic. While remote received much scholarly and public attention over years, we still know little about how people with disabilities engage their homes what access means this context. To understand rethink accessibility work, present paper studies work-from-home practices of neurodivergent professionals who have Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity learning (e.g.,...
During the COVID-19 pandemic, colleges and universities resorted to emergency online learning, which has significant implications for future of education. However, our knowledge factors influencing student engagement learning is somewhat dispersed, partly due a lack theoretical framework that guides research. This study draws on Community Inquiry (CoI) examine predict during learning. Through an survey 351 undergraduate students in large public university US, we found who were more...

In this paper we compare the affordances of presenting educational material on a tabletop display with same using traditional handouts. Ten pairs undergraduate students used digital or materials to prepare for exams during four one-hour study sessions over course term. Students studying solved problems their own before resorting answer keys and repeated activities more often than documents. We summarize discuss benefits drawbacks each medium.
There is a growing emphasis on designing with people diverse health experiences rather than for them. Yet, collaborative design becomes difficult when working individuals conditions (e.g., stroke, cancer, abuse, depression) that affect their ability or willingness to engage alongside researchers and verbally express themselves. The present paper analyzes how the clinical practice of art therapy engages these in co-creative, visual expression ideas, thoughts, experiences. Drawing interviews...
Collaborative writing tools have become ubiquitous in today's world and are used widely many professional organizations academic settings. Yet, we know little about how ability-diverse teams, such as those involving people with without vision impairments, make use of collaborative tools. We report on interviews 20 academics professionals who blind or visually impaired perform sighted colleagues. Our findings reveal that impairments activities through four interconnected processes, which...
Cognitive impairment is sometimes viewed as a deficit limiting an individual's ability to participate fully in society. Art therapy, contrast, context which older adults with cognitive impairments (e.g., dementia, aphasia) are positioned capable, competent, and engaged through the act of creating sharing artwork. We draw on concept "Third Hand," practice art therapy therapist attunes enables desires client during interaction. use this understand how empower creative work among impairments....
Sharing online is an important way in which people across the lifespan express themselves, maintain relationships, and connect with others. Yet, dementia are often not supported engaging to full extent of their abilities, particularly interaction technology. This paper presents a design case study that examines what it means for agency sharing involving individuals dementia.
