CSCW23 WORKSHOP

WE RISE BY LIFTING OTHERS UP

Social computing has long known that people do not interact with knowledge cleanly, especially in digital environments. While knowledge curation is essential for targeting irrelevant, biased, or even harmful information, it is value-laden; in choosing how to present information, we undermine non-traditional information such as personal experiences. In this workshop, we will bring together researchers from academia, industry, and marginalized communities to discuss how current CSCW applications contribute to epistemic injustice: the systemic silencing, exclusion, or delegitimization of certain knowledge contributions.

fostering CONSTRUCTIVE discourse

We invite the research community, epistemic community members, and practitioners to discuss:

How do user journeys impact knowledge gained from online communities?
What are common contributors to epistemic injustice in online spaces?
How can we design to combat the systemic factors contributing to epistemic injustice?
