HCI research is moving into increasingly sensitive and challenging
settings. New technologies are now being designed and evaluated with
vulnerable or marginalized participants in contexts that can be
emotionally challenging for researchers, participants, and others involved
in the research. Research conducted in these sensitive and emerging areas
can produce complex ethical dilemmas. Building on previous workshops, this
CHI 2016 workshop aims to provide a forum for researchers to share
experiences and learn from ethical challenges encountered in HCI research
conducted in sensitive settings. From this workshop we aim to develop a
handbook of practical strategies to inform good practice for future HCI
research. Attendees will be invited to develop their workshop paper into a
chapter for the handbook.
We invite researchers working in sensitive settings to submit 4-6 page
case studies (in ACM Extended Abstract format) that: a) describe ethical
challenges they have experienced in their research, and b) illustrate how
they addressed or responded to those challenges.
Submissions should be sent in .pdf format to
