What is History ‘for' in CSCW Research?

Published: 14 October 2023 Publication History

Abstract

This panel will host a debate about the possible roles of HCI within CSCW research. To do so, it assembles five intellectually diverse researchers who contribute to the field of CSCW, while taking divergent approaches to incorporating an historicist sensibility in their work, as a matter of design, politics, reflection, or research. Panelists will briefly answer the following prompts: What is history for? What does good historical work look like? And, what is distinct for historicism in CSCW? Then, panelists and audience will discuss and compare answers. The goal of the panel is to further hone the discussion and method of historicism, and to invite a wider cross-section of the community of CSCW into the conversation.
