http://132.161.132.157/drupal6/taxonomy/term/319/0 en http://132.161.132.157/drupal6/node/530 <p>On Thursday, September 1, Assistant Professor Juan Pablo Hourcade of the University of Iowa will speak:</p> <blockquote>Peace is an important value for the human-computer interaction research community, yet it has not resulted in the development of a research sub-community or even a research agenda. In this presentation I seek to address this void by first motivating the need for computing research on promoting peace and preventing war. I will then review evidence on the factors that affect the likelihood that armed conflict will occur, as well as the aspects involved when individuals make moral decisions on whether or not to support a war. Based on this review,I propose a research agenda, citing research examples from the human-computer interaction literature and discussing new ideas. </blockquote> <p>Refreshments will be served at 4:15 p.m. in the Computer Science Commons (Noyce 3817). The talk, “HCI for Peace,” will follow at 4:30 p.m. in Noyce 3821. Everyone is welcome to attend!</p> http://132.161.132.157/drupal6/node/530#comments conflict ethics human-computer interaction peace social issues Thursday Extras values war Fri, 26 Aug 2011 20:26:32 +0000 davisjan 530 at http://132.161.132.157/drupal6
