We held our ACM CSCW2020 workshop in Civic Technologies: Research, Practice, and Open Challenges.
Although Computer-Supported Cooperative Work and Human-Computer Interaction communities have shown a growing interest in researching issues around civic technologies, yet most research still focuses on projects from the Global North. For this reason, Pablo Aragon,Adriana Alvarado Garcia, Jorge Saldivar, Christopher A. Le Dantec and I organized this workshop with the aim of advancing CSCW research by raising awareness for the ongoing challenges and open questions around civic technology by bridging the gap between researchers and practitioners from different regions.
From our open call for participation, we received 23 position papers and 49 proposals by researchers and practitioners from academic and civic institutions in 15 countries! We created a final report of the workshop.
