Graduate Student Workshop: Values into Computer and Information System Design (VID)
Despite a growing body of research and scholarship dedicated both to theoretical and practical dimensions of this important subject, institutional responses have been sporadic and somewhat sparse. Several goals have motivated the design of this workshop:
- Deepen knowledge and understanding of the complex interplay between social, moral, political and cultural values and technology through the aggregation and study of a diverse canon of works;
- Create opportunities for collaborations among researchers and scholars (current and future) historically separated by institutional, geographic, and disciplinary boundaries;
- Reveal relevant literatures, approaches, and methodologies to graduate students, who might not, in the normal course of their respective programs, see them;
- Promote the development of collegial networks among established scholars and as well as students.
