Abstract
This year, CSCW is coming to Latin America for the first time. In this workshop, we aim to position the region as a common context that brings together students, academics, as well as industry researchers and practitioners interested in studying, designing, developing, deploying, and/or evaluating CSCW and social computing technology, addressing challenges either emerging from or impacting Latin America. Previous initiatives have explored or highlighted the potential of Latin America for CSCW research, and this one-day workshop seeks to build on that foundation. Our objectives are to: (1) Bring together researchers, practitioners, and students interested in engaging with Latin America through their research and practice; (2) Discuss the opportunities and challenges of conducting CSCW research centered on Latin America; (3) Collaboratively mentor emerging projects focused on Latin America; (4) Advance 5-year collaborative research agendas among existing CSCW Latin America research groups; and (5) Increase the visibility of Latin American research projects within the broader international CSCW community. We will invite senior CSCW researchers from Latin America and other regions to discuss the work presented at the event. This workshop seeks to enrich the global conversation on CSCW and highlight and strengthen Latin America's unique contributions to this field.
