ABSTRACT
Research in the fields of Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is increasingly examining topics surrounding women's health. Many of these works convey that women's health cannot be isolated from various social and affective aspects of health, strongly suggesting a more holistic engagement with women's wellbeing instead. Extending beyond wellbeing, we find that much prior work is committed to promoting women's empowerment along various dimensions, such as being more in control of their bodies, having the freedom to express themselves online, being able to secure access to computing education, among other goals. In this panel, we bring together the voices of members of the CSCW community who actively care about women's health, wellbeing, and empowerment in the worlds of research, design, and practice.

Reimagining (Women’s) Health: HCI, Gender and Essentialised Embodiment
Special Issue on HCI and the Body:?Reimagining Women's Health and Regular PapersAn ever-increasing body of work within HCI investigates questions of around “Women’s Health” with the aim to disrupt the status quo of defaulting to an implicit norm of cis-male bodies. This laudable and feminist project has the potential to drastically ...
HCI and Intimate Care as an Agenda for Change in Women's Health
CHI '16: Proceedings of the 2016 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsDesigning for women's healthcare remains an underexplored area of HCI, particularly outside informational systems for maternal health. Drawing on a case study of a body disruption - urinary incontinence in women - we illustrate the experience of women's ...
