Latin America as a Place for CSCW Research.

Inspired by the ACM SIGCHI Across Borders Initiative, this workshop focuses on ongoing CSCW research in, or about, Latin America (LATAM). We seek to position LATAM as the common context that unites students, academic and industry researchers who participate in the workshop. Our goals are: (1) to discuss the opportunities and challenges of doing CSCW research centered on LATAM, (2) to collaboratively mentor emerging projects focused on LATAM, and (3) to make LATAM research projects more visible to the international community. Senior CSCW researchers from LATAM and other regions will be invited to discuss the work presented at the event in order to facilitate a greater integration of Latin American CSCW into the CSCW community at large.
