chapter 5 of my dissertation 🧩 co-authored with @willie-agnew.bsky.social, keith edwards, + @sauvik.me is coming to #CSCW2025 🇳🇴 glad to finally share my work on imagining a future of people collectively reporting on privacy harms preprint: www.yuxiwu.com/pubs/cscw25_...

Paper abstract for "Design(ing) Fictions for Collective Civic Reporting of Privacy Harms": Individually-experienced privacy harms are often difficult to demonstrate and quantify, which impedes efforts for their redress. Their effects often appear small and are inconsistently documented, and they only become more obvious when aggregated over time and across populations. Taking a design fiction approach, we explore the design requirements and cultural ideals of a government-run system that empowers people to collectively report on and make sense of experiences of privacy harm from online behavioral advertising. Through the use of fictional inquiry, story completion, and comicboarding methods, delivered in an online survey with 50 participants, we found that participants had detailed conceptions of the user experience of such a tool, but wanted assurance that their labor and personal data would not be exploited further by the government if they contributed evidence of harm. We extrapolate these design insights to government-supported complaint-reporting platforms in other domains, finding multiple common design gaps that might disincentivize people to report experiences of harm, be they privacy-related or otherwise.

This year the assessment was all about Future of work. Students had to pick one of 4 challenges to design for and research: 1. worker-centred gig economy 2. inclusive work environments for neurodiversity 3. managing work-life balance for working students 4. designing transparent & ethical bossware

A slide with a bright yellow background and pink abstract shapes. The title reads: ‘Your top choices.’ Four images are listed with percentages: 41% (Work-Life Balance), 21% (Gig Economy), 21% (Neurodiverse Workplaces), and 17% (Ethical Bossware).

That's 36 hours - 1h lecture and 2h workshops a week, for 12 weeks.

A slide with a blue and pink gradient background. The text reads: ‘Together, we’ve spent 2160 minutes in class this semester. Individually, you have put even more time into this module than you perhaps realise.’ At the bottom, the quote: ‘You get what you give’ from New Radicals – ‘You Get What You Give’ is displayed.

Once it gets to a consequential size (already? soon?) we will see spam, disinfo campaigns, harassment, and all the other ailments hit this platform. Is the team going to be ready?

As a jr academic who researches tech, work, and health, the other site has always been an occupational hazard post-musk. I'll continue parallel existence but, unlike alternatives, the #bluesky UX makes me feel optimistic of migration. 📣 to folks who curate starter packs for #hci + #hai 🤗 !
