Participatory, not Punitive: Student-Driven AI Policy Recommendations in a Design Classroom

Generative AI is reshaping education, yet most university AI policies are written without students and focus on penalizing misuse. This top-down approach sidelines those most affected from decisions that shape their everyday learning, resulting in confusion and fear about acceptable use. We examine how participatory,…

Towards Designing for Resilience: Community-Centered Deployment of an AI Business Planning Tool in a Pittsburgh Small Business Center

Entrepreneurs in resource-constrained communities often lack time and support to translate ideas into actionable business plans. While generative AI promises assistance, most systems assume high digital literacy and overlook community infrastructures that shape adoption. We report on the community-centered design and…

A Node on the Constellation: The Role of Feminist Makerspaces in Building and Sustaining Alternative Cultures of Technology Production

Feminist makerspaces offer community-led alternatives to dominant tech cultures by centering care, mutual aid, and collective knowledge production. While prior CSCW research has explored their inclusive practices, less is known about how these spaces sustain themselves over time. Drawing on interviews with 18 founders…

Everyday Uncertainty: How Blind People Use GenAI Tools for Information Access

Generative AI (GenAI) tools promise to advance non-visual information access but introduce new challenges due to output errors, hallucinations, biases, and constantly changing capabilities. Through interviews with 20 blind screen reader users who use various GenAI applications for diverse tasks, we show how they appro…

“That’s Kind of Sus(picious)”: The Comprehensiveness of Mental Health Application Users’ Privacy and Security Concerns

With the increasing usage of mental health applications (MHAs), there is growing concern regarding their data privacy practices. Analyzing 437 user reviews from 83 apps, we outline users’ predominant privacy and security concerns with currently available apps. We then compare those concerns to criteria from two promin…
