A great honour to be interviewed by Fawzia Kara-Isitt of ACMs Women in Computing for U-RISE (Unconventional Routes into Computing: Re-Imagining Skills & Entry).
I appreciated the chat about my path in HCI and CSCW across past and present.

I learned about curling stones, where they are made, why they are made only in one place in the world, and why the granite comes only from Ailsa Craig - the Scottish Island in Ayrshire also known as Paddy’s Milestone as it’s about halfway between Belfast and Glasgow.

Why all Olympic curling stones come from a Scottish island
Kays Scotland have been producing curling stones using Ailsa Craig granite for almost two centuries.

Many thanks @luiciolfi.bsky.social for delivering this year’s annual HCI@UCD Christmas Lecture on the topic of our increasingly digitally-entangled worklives. Is hybrid really the ideal “new normal”?

Food for thought as we enter the winter break! Wishing you a lovely holiday from all at HCI@UCD!

The German company that makes the mechanical ladder used in the Louvre heist has used the image to advertise, with the text 'When you need to move fast'

10/10 response, no notes
Image of the mechanical ladder outside the Louvre Text below says WENN'S MAL WIEDER SCHNELL GEHEN MUSS (When you need to move fast) Underneath is more German text which translates as "The Böcker Agilo transports your treasures weighing up to 400kg at 42m/min - quiet as a whisper."

Gina Neff @ginasue.bsky.social : Innovation isn't disruption, it's negotiation.

How do you make room for negotiating innovation? Reconsider team environment and team structure. Add more time and space to figure out what works--and what doesn't.

For the #CSCW2025 closing keynote, @ginasue.bsky.social discusses the myth of automation: automation uncovers and foregrounds current sociotechnical configurations. Technological innovation doesn't happen overnight, it's negotiated by people on the ground over time.
