Our #educhi2025 papers are available now! Also, the conference has just started (today is the pedagogy workshop educhi2025.educhi.org). I'm excited about my paper, which is about using amoeba drawings to encourage sketching and prototyping within ambiguous problem spaces dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/...

It is a very pretty book! Looking forward to it being officially published next month 🎉❤️
I know I’m a bit biased, since @graydesign.bsky.social is an author, but I’m legitimately excited to read this. I’m talking myself out of bringing it to DIS with me, but I’m going to try to tackle this before EduCHI. studioproperties.org #studioProperties #studioPedagogy #prettyBooks

After receiving a standing ovation, she is answering Q&A: her comments are that we need to think of AI as a friend - rather than a tool. She sees AI as a child - and we need to be kind to nurture it as it grows. #chi2025

It’s quite surreal to see my 2018 paper on #darkpatterns reach 1000 citations. We initially only hoped to galvanize local support among designers and HCI scholars, but I’m super proud of the impact this work has had on law, regulation, and ethics! 🎉 @uxp2lab.bsky.social
