Navigating Intersections of Religion/Spirituality and Human-Computer Interaction

Religion and spirituality (R/S) are an important part of many people's lives, and while HCI is increasingly engaged in research and design in specific R/S contexts, there are many cases where researchers or designers encounter R/S outside of such contexts. In this workshop, we seek to bring together HCI researchers and designers across all research areas and with varying levels of experience with R/S to discuss encounters with R/S in their work, either intentional or not, and to develop principles and strategies to guide HCI research and design that intersects with R/S. Through this workshop, we also seek to further establish a network of scholars who can provide each other support in navigating R/S-related challenges and opportunities in their work and can participate in publication-oriented collaborations that consider the intersection of R/S and HCI.

We have been informed by the conference organizers that workshop attendees are no longer required to register for the conference in order to register for (and attend) a workshop.
