Refusing, limiting, departing
Eric P. S. Baumer, Morgan G. Ames, Jed R. Brubaker, Jenna Burrell, Paul Dourish · 2014
In contrast to most research in HCI, this workshop focuses on non-use, that is, situations where people do not use computing technology. Using a reflexive pre-workshop activity and discussion-oriented sessions, we will consider the theories, methods, foundational texts, and central research questions in the study of non-use. In addition to a special issue proposal, we expect the research thread brought to the fore in this workshop will speak to foundational questions of use and the user in HCI.
