Collaborative Research: A Workshop on Values in the Design of Information Technology, University of California, San Diego, Summer 2005

这个多学科的研究生工作坊侧重于计算机和信息技术设计的价值。尽管有越来越多的优秀研究和学者致力于这一一般主题的理论和实践层面，以及研讨会和其他学术聚会，但机构的反应一直是零星的，有些稀疏。因此，这一新兴领域的成员非常关注的一个问题是，无论个别研究人员和学者的创造性努力取得了多大的进步，如果没有传统领域所给予的机构支持，没有教师自治和研究生项目的内在机制，它的长期可持续性将面临风险。该研讨会旨在吸引来自不同背景和学科的广泛代表，为将一代的成就和研究成果传递给下一代提供了一种途径的测试。根据广泛的指导委员会的建议，主要研究人员将设计课程。研讨会将持续两周；它将在加州大学圣地亚哥分校举行。在讲习班的第一周，学生将学习从大量参考书目中选出的主题和阅读材料课程。第二周，将有3 - 4位本领域的优秀学者与小组进行2-3天的交流，带领小组讨论并展示新成果。广泛的代表性将是选择参与者（教师和学生）、课程、方法和方法的基本指导原则。研讨会不仅寻求地域、性别和文化的平衡，还寻求学科贡献的平衡，包括STS、哲学、计算机科学与工程、信息科学、社会科学、历史、传播和媒体研究等。几个目标激发了工作坊的设计。直接的是加深知识和理解社会，道德，政治和文化价值观和技术之间复杂的相互作用，通过集合和研究不同的经典作品；为历史上因机构、地理和学科界限而分离的研究人员和学者（现在和未来）创造合作机会；向研究生展示相关的文献、方法和方法论，他们在各自专业的正常课程中可能看不到这些；促进学者和学生之间的学院网络的进一步发展。从长远来看，讲习班可以将设计价值的思想投射到未来和更广泛的学术和研究工作领域；B)创建示范课程和阅读材料，特别是在那些不支持这些领域专业化的机构中使用；并增加对社会、道德、政治和文化价值观作出反应的技术的机会。

This multi-disciplinary graduate student workshop focuses on values in the design of computer and information technology. Despite a growing body of excellent research and scholarship dedicated both to theoretical and practical dimensions of this general subject, as well as workshops and other scholarly gatherings, institutional responses have been sporadic and somewhat sparse. Thus, a source of great concern for members of this emergent field, is that no matter what great strides are made by the creative efforts of individual researchers and scholars, without the institutional support accorded to traditional fields, with built-in mechanisms of faculty self-governance and graduate programs, its long term sustainability is at risk. This workshop, designed to engage a wide representation of backgrounds and disciplines, provides a test of one avenue for passing down the achievements and research findings of one generation to the next. With advice from a broad based Steering Committee, the principal investigators will design the curriculum. The workshop will last for two weeks; it will take place at the University of California, San Diego. During the first week of the workshop students would cover a curriculum of topics and readings selected from a substantial bibliography. For the second week, three to four outstanding scholars in the field will spend 2-3 days each with the group, leading discussions and presenting new work. Broad representation will be a fundamental guiding principle for selection of participants (faculty and students), curriculum, approaches and methodologies. The workshop seeks not only geographic, gender, and cultural balance, but a balance of disciplinary contribution, including STS, philosophy, computer science and engineering, information science, social sciences, history, communication and media studies, etc.. Several goals have motivated the design of the workshop. The immediate ones are to deepen knowledge and understanding of the complex interplay between social, moral, political and cultural values and technology through the aggregation and study of a diverse canon of works; create opportunities for collaborations among researchers and scholars (current and future) historically separated by institutional, geographic, and disciplinary boundaries; reveal relevant literatures, approaches, and methodologies to graduate students, who might not, in the normal course of their respective programs, see them; and promote further development of collegial networks among established scholars as well as students. In the long term, the workshop may project ideas of values in design into the future and into broader domains of academic and research efforts; b) create model course curricula and readings, particularly for use in institutions that do not support specialization in these areas; and increase chances of technologies that are responsive to social, moral, political, and cultural values.
