“…In the recent years, researchers have started to highlight through thought pieces [48] and workshops [11,24] the space between HCI and policymaking during the development of socio-technical regulations. These papers not only highlight the impact HCI can have on public policy, but also the influence of public policy on the work of HCI researchers.…”

“…These papers not only highlight the impact HCI can have on public policy, but also the influence of public policy on the work of HCI researchers. These authors discuss the implications their research has on specific policy topics [27,50,55,64] while also reporting on the personal experiences and lessons learned from such engagements [24,47]. For example, as part of the project #Blockchain4EU [45], HCI researchers collaborated with the EU Policy Lab.…”

There is a growing body of literature in HCI examining the intersection between policymaking and technology research. However, what it means to engage in policymaking in our field, or the ways in which evidence from HCI studies is translated into policy, is not well understood. We report on interviews with 11 participants working at the intersection of technology research and policymaking. Analysis of this data highlights how evidence is understood and made sense of in policymaking processes, what forms of evidence are privileged over others, and the work that researchers engage in to meaningfully communicate their work to policymaking audiences. We discuss how our findings pose challenges for certain traditions of research in HCI, yet also open up new policy opportunities for those engaging in more speculative research practices. We conclude by discussing three ways forward that the HCI community can explore to increase engagement with policymaking contexts. CCS CONCEPTS • Human-centered computing → Field studies.

“…The CHI community has a strong tradition of interrogating the social, ethical, and political implications of their research and technologies. In the past decade, CHI panels and papers have engaged in discussion of topics such as environmental impact [1,5,8,11,16,17], accessibility [9], privacy [12], and research ethics [3,5], and published an important monograph on the policy implications of HCI technologies [13]. Members of the CHI community have also served important roles on national and international policy councils and commissions throughout the world, such as the Federal Trade Commission in the US.…”

We seek to engage a broad and diverse audience in discussing emerging challenges in HCI technologies that have potential for significant social impact. In a town hall forum, members of the ACM Technology Policy Council will introduce four emerging challenges for discussion: ethical HCI in global contexts; privacy protection in human-AI interaction; accessible interactions in HCI design; and the environmental impact of HCI. Discussion will be launched with a question from the panel; additional questions will be posted and ranked from the audience. The session will support digital and remote audience participation, and participants will have access to a summary report when the session concludes. These discussions provide an opportunity for CHI members to contribute to emerging policy and governing environments to facilitate ethical, accessible, and environmentally sensitive HCI research, design, and development.

“…Some members of the community have also engaged with human rights [39], urban development [9,52], and arts/innovation [17] policies, as well as relevant technical standards [36,37]. Others have written magazine articles, some have worked with governmental organisations or been funded by government research bodies, and some have issued-as well as responded to-calls for activism related to complex social issues [11]. These actions and endeavours all arguably have direct or indirect effects on public policy.…”

This note discusses opportunities for the HCI community to engage with environmental public policy. It draws on insights and observations made during the primary author's recent work for a policy unit at Global Affairs Canada, which is a federal ministry of the Government of Canada. During that work, the primary author identified several domains of environmental public policy that are of direct relevance to the HCI community. This note contributes a preliminary discussion of how, why, with whom, and in what capacity HCI researchers and practitioners might engage with three types of environmental public policy: climate change, waste electrical and electronic equipment, and green ICT procurement policies. This builds on existing public policy and environmental knowledge within the HCI community and responds directly to calls from some members to engage with environmental public policy.
