This quarter we will discuss a sample of HCI researchers who have made important contributions to interactive systems.

Each week will feature a different researcher. The seminar will start with an introduction about the researcher, followed by a discussion of a selected paper written by the researcher. The introduction should describe the researcher's work at a high level, and frame the paper for discussion.

Organization

• One paper by a featured researcher will be assigned for reading for each week.
• A pair of students will present an introduction about the researcher, and summarize the paper giving an initial critique. In class they will lead a discussion about the paper. We will assign leaders at the first meeting. To stimulate diversity, each pair should not have the same academic advisor.
• Other students are expected to submit a few comments in the Canvas discussion forum by Thursday at noon so that the discussion leaders can curate all the responses before the meeting on Friday.
• You are encouraged to read others' comments and critiques before the seminar. However, do not reply primarily to those responses in the thread. Save your responses for discussing in the seminar so that we have high quality discussion.

Lunch will be served at noon. We will start discussing at 12:15pm. We hope people come at noon and socialize a bit before the discussion.
