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.

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观。尽管越来越多的优秀研究和学术致力于这一一般性主题的理论和实践层面，以及讲习班和其他学术聚会，机构的反应一直是零星的，有点稀疏。因此，这个新兴领域的成员非常关注的一个来源是，无论个人研究人员和学者的创造性努力取得了多大的进步，没有给予传统领域的制度支持，与教师自治和研究生课程的内置机制，其长期可持续性处于危险之中。 该讲习班旨在广泛吸收不同背景和学科的代表参加，为将成就和研究成果代代相传提供了一种途径。 根据一个基础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，在圣地亚哥的加州大学举行。 在讲习班的第一周，学生将涵盖从大量参考书目中选出的主题和阅读材料的课程。在第二周，三到四位该领域的杰出学者将与小组一起度过2-3天，领导讨论并介绍新的工作。 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。该研讨会不仅寻求地理，性别和文化平衡，而且还寻求学科贡献的平衡，包括STS，哲学，计算机科学和工程，信息科学，社会科学，历史，传播和媒体研究等。 有几个目标促使讲习班的设计。眼前的挑战是通过汇集和研究各种经典作品，加深对社会、道德、政治和文化价值观与技术之间复杂相互作用的认识和理解;为研究人员和学者之间的合作创造机会（当前和未来）在历史上被机构、地理和学科界限分隔;揭示相关文献，方法和方法的研究生，谁可能不会，在各自的程序的正常过程中，看到他们;并促进建立学者和学生之间的合议网络的进一步发展。 从长远来看，研讨会可能会将设计价值观的想法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，政治和文化价值观做出反应的技术的机会。
