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 ☺️
bundle exec your firstborn
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."
I’m on the team hosting this! Attendees and presenters welcome :)
The poster for STAIG@CHI'25. The title of the poster is "Keynote: Algorithmic Harm And Safety Are Sociotechnical, But Are Our Interventions?" April 27, 2025 | PACIFICO Yokohama & Online. 16:00-16:45 Japan Standard Time. The poster also includes a headshot of Roel Dobbe and his bio. "Roel Dobbe is an Assistant Professor in Technology, Policy & Management at Delft University of Technology focusing on Sociotechnical AI Systems. He received a MSc in Systems & Control from Delft (2010) and a PhD in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences from UC Berkeley (2018), where he received the Demetri Angelakos Memorial Achievement Award. He was an inaugural postdoc at the AI Now Institute and New York University. His research addresses the integration and implications of algorithmic technologies in societal infrastructure and democratic institutions, focusing on issues related to safety, sustainability and justice. His projects are situated in various domains, including energy systems, public administration, and healthcare. Roel’s system-theoretic lens enables addressing the sociotechnical and political nature of algorithmic and artificial intelligence systems across analysis, engineering design and governance, with an aim to empower domain experts and affected communities. His results have informed various policy initiatives, including environmental assessments in the European AI Act as well as the development of the algorithm watchdog in The Netherlands."
📢 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!!
Congrats!!! Well-deserved; can’t wait to see what you get up to.
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.

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
🤔 Interested in how #HCI thinks about using #LLMs, or looking to understand best practices for human-LLM interaction?

🙏😌 likewise Johanna, are you recruiting too??
😌🤝 I will do my very best to take care of them
🤝 this is so kind, Kristen! I’m so happy to keep learning with you. Thanks for the props!
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.
i see discussions about this in emerging corners of computer security and privacy -- would be terrific to join forces with feminist perspectives on ML like yours!
we need popcorn for this. what a throwback!!!
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
I think I might be able to! 🤩
