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

这个多学科研究生工作坊的重点是计算机和信息技术设计中的价值观。尽管越来越多的优秀研究和学术致力于这一一般主题的理论和实践层面，以及讲习班和其他学术会议，但机构的反应一直是零星的，有些稀少。因此，这个新兴领域的成员非常担心的一个问题是，无论个人研究人员和学者的创造性努力取得多大进展，如果没有给予传统领域的制度支持，以及教师自治和研究生项目的内置机制，其长期可持续性都将面临风险。这一研讨会旨在广泛代表不同的背景和学科，为将一代人的成就和研究成果传给下一代人提供了一种途径的测试。根据一个基础广泛的指导委员会的建议，主要调查人员将设计课程。研讨会将持续两周，地点是加州大学圣地亚哥分校。在研讨会的第一周，学生们将涵盖从大量参考书目中挑选出来的主题和阅读材料的课程。在第二周，三到四名该领域的杰出学者将与小组每人花费2-3天的时间，领导讨论并介绍新的工作。广泛的代表性将是选择参与者(教职员工和学生)、课程、途径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，而且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、传播学和媒体研究等。有几个目标推动了研讨会的设计。当务之急是通过汇集和研究各种不同的作品，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(当前和未来)之间的合作创造机会；向研究生展示相关文献、途径和方法，他们在各自课程的正常过程中可能看不到这些文献、方法和方法；促进现有学者和学生之间的大学网络的进一步发展。从长远来看，研讨会可以将设计中的价值观思想投射到未来，并投射到更广泛的学术和研究领域；b)创建示范课程和读物，特别是在不支持这些领域专业化的机构中使用；以及增加技术响应社会、道德、政治和文化价值观的机会。

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.
