Interrogating Human-Centered Data Science: Taking Stock of Opportunities and Limitations


A CHI’22 Workshop


In the remote workshop, ”Interrogating Human-Centered Data Science: Taking Stock of Opportunities and Limitations,” we will consider efforts, broadly conceived, to humanize data science. We seek participation from individuals who have been involved in reading, writing, teaching, designing, and organizing with an aim to problematize data-intensive technologies and methods, and propose solutions to those problems. For background, details, and a link to the application, please see the workshop website: https://sites.google.com/view/hcds-workshop-chi2022/home

Submissions should be made by February 28th at 11:59pm Anywhere on Earth (i.e., 23:59 in the latest time zone on the planet).


Our intent is to push against the current boundaries of human-centered data science and establish an agenda for furthering this area of work. We plan to use this workshop as a launchpad to develop a slate of journal articles for a special issue or to seed one or more funding proposals for innovative research.


The workshop will be held remotely on April 23rd, 2022. To be considered for participation, submit a position paper of 2-3 pages in the ACM primary article template (https://www.acm.org/publications/ taps/word-template-workflow)<https://www.acm.org/publications/taps/word-template-workflow> that articulates your own experience and expertise as it relates to human-centered data science, and examines the opportunities and limitations of efforts to intervene in data science. Applicants will be accepted based on a review of their position papers for clarity, relevance to the call for submissions, and uniqueness or originality. Position papers will be circulated and discussed among workshop participants and may be posted to the workshop website with author consent.


At least one author of each accepted submission must attend the workshop. All workshop participants must register for both the workshop and at least one day of the 2022 ACM CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems<https://chi2022.acm.org/> (remote participation enabled). Information about the registration process and fees will be added to the CHI website when it becomes available from conference organizers.
