Join us at CHI2019 to discuss how HCI research is situated within humanitarian research and digital humanitarianism!!
SIG Aim:
While previous engagements within the HCI community have focused on our experiences of working within refugee contexts as well as developing a common research agenda, we have yet to explore how HCI research fits within wider humanitarian research and in relation to digital humanitarianism. This SIG invites HCI researchers to engage in discussions on situating HCI research within humanitarian research and response.
