More Human HCI

Explore the intersection of technology and human experience in this thought-provoking keynote address from the ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology (UIST'21). Delve into the concept of "More Human HCI" as presented by Melody Ivory, examining both the harmonious and harmful aspects of technology in our daily lives. Investigate how Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) plays a crucial role in shaping these experiences, particularly for underrepresented groups in the tech industry. Engage with user narratives and industry events through a sustainable disruption framework, aimed at mitigating tech harm and fostering greater tech harmony. Learn about tech archetypes, gender differences in tech experiences, and strategies for creating more inclusive and human-centered technology. Participate in an interactive session that challenges HCI researchers, practitioners, and employers to reflect on their roles in shaping a more equitable and beneficial technological landscape for all.
