Re-Examining the Examiners: Changes in Privacy and Security Perceptions of Exam Proctoring

With the shift to remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic, educators turned to remote exam proctoring software to support integrity for online tests. However, due to the mechanisms used to surveil test-takers, these systems come with significant privacy and security tradeoffs. At the height of the pandemic, Balas…

Beyond "Vulnerable Populations": A Unified Understanding of Vulnerability From A Socio-Ecological Perspective

HCI and CSCW research has witnessed increasing efforts to address diversity and inclusion in research and design practice, as evidenced by the growing body of research with populations deemed as vulnerable, marginalized, or underserved. However, this work has been largely limited to a population-specific approach, i.e…

Reimagining Wearable-Based Digital Contact Tracing: Insights from Kenya and Côte d’Ivoire

While digital contact tracing has been extensively studied in Western contexts, its relevance and application in Africa remain largely unexplored. This study focuses on Kenya and Côte d’Ivoire to uncover user perceptions and inform the design of culturally resonant contact tracing technologies. Utilizing a wearable pr…

It's Trying Too Hard To Look Real: Deepfake Moderation Mistakes and Identity-Based Bias

Online platforms employ manual human moderation to distinguish human-created social media profiles from deepfake-generated ones. Biased misclassification of real profiles as artificial can harm general users as well as specific identity groups; however, no work has yet systematically investigated such mistakes and bia…

“Oh yes! over-preparing for meetings is my jam :)”: The Gendered Experiences of System Administrators

In the system and network administration domain, gender diversity remains a distant target. The experiences and perspectives of sysadmins who belong to marginalized genders (non cis men) are not well understood beyond the fact that sysadmin work environments are generally not equitable. We address this knowledge gap i…

The Use and Non-Use of Technology During Hurricanes

Hurricanes can cause catastrophic damage; it is critical for those affected to access information about conditions, loved ones, and resources. Prior work in the HCI and CSCW communities has focused on how social media can be vital during natural disasters; non-social media technologies have been under-researched. To u…

Beyond the Boolean: How Programmers Ask About, Use, and Discuss Gender

Categorization via gender is omnipresent throughout society, and thus also computing; gender identity is often requested of users before they use software or web services. Despite this fact, no research has explored how software developers approach requesting gender disclosure from users. To understand how developers…

A World Full of Privacy and Security (Mis)conceptions? Findings of a Representative Survey in 12 Countries

Misconceptions about digital security and privacy topics in the general public frequently lead to insecure behavior. However, little is known about the prevalence and extent of such misconceptions in a global context. In this work, we present the results of the first large-scale survey of a global population on miscon…

Users Can Deduce Sensitive Locations Protected by Privacy Zones on Fitness Tracking Apps

Fitness tracking applications allow athletes to record and share their exercises online, including GPS routes of their activities. However, sharing mobility data potentially raises real-world privacy and safety risks. One strategy to mitigate that risk is a “Privacy Zone,” which conceals portions of the exercise route…
