Harvard HCI Reading Group

The weekly reading group for the Harvard HCI group and friends.


About

Future of HCI: This semester’s reading group starts with the observation that tomorrow’s best papers in HCI will be very different from yesterday’s best papers.

  • How is our field changing?
  • What is exciting in terms of concepts, methodologies, and questions?
  • What are some examples of work that today are rare but point toward something that we would like to see more of in our field?
