Deadline extension and call for participation for:
LOST OR LIBERATED?-WITHOUT THEORY
A full day workshop at British HCI 2005,
Napier University, Edinburgh, 6 September 2005
http://www.it.uu.se/research/hci/HCI2005-WS
What is your conceptual framework, your theory or method? Why is
your work valid? This workshop addresses these questions and
related problems facing all researchers within HCI, and their
solutions.
Finding suitable theoretical or conceptual frameworks (and
methods consistent with that framework) with which to address
research problems is a very complex and difficult issue. The
relations between different theories, and between theory and
application within HCI has long been a source of frustration,
debate and problems.
This workshop will discuss issues related to theory and the
application of theory within HCI research. The workshop will
make
authoritative and positive recommendations to the community. The
workshop particularly addresses the difficulties facing PhD
students as well as researchers trying to navigate in a
multi-disciplinary and multi-theoretical research area.
SUBMISSIONS
We welcome position papers (maximum 3 pages) from both seasoned
HCI researchers and younger participants, such as current PhD
students in the midst of interdisciplinary crisis. We
particularly encourage PhD students and their supervisor/tutor
to send in joint applications.
DATES AND DEADLINES
Position paper deadline: 30th June 2005
Notification of acceptance: 1st July 2005.
