📢 #PhD students & #HCI faculty — we want to hear from you! @mirandawei.bsky.social @samanthadalal.bsky.social @mariannealq.bsky.social and I are studying how GenAI use is impacting the #research advisor-advisee relationship. Sign-up link for a 45 min interview, virtual or in-person, in the thread 🧵
ofc, this project has only been possible with the support with several wonderful collaborators at Princeton (@andresmh.com and Yuhan Liu), Northwestern (@thatianyandrade.bsky.social @sophierollins.bsky.social @aaronshaw.bsky.social in the @communitydata.science) and Georgia Tech (Richmond Wong) 😊
find me at the last day of #CHI2026 (or reach out for another time) if you want to chat and learn more! we're especially excited to speak to potential community partners or folks interested in using the infra we are working on building out 🤝🔗
in this paper in particular, we also highlight tensions around autonomy and labor + identify three principles of design (modularity, polycentricity, forkability) that are guiding our ongoing efforts now, in partnership with Bonfire Networks 🔥
we draw on design workshops to sketch out a vision of trust bubbles, coalition-building, and shared vocabularies. what really excites me is that the ecosystem participants envisioned was quite coherent - we're actually now developing the ideas that came up into tools 🧰🔧 + resources 📝
I also got to speak with the Siegel Family Endowment about this work in a Q&A here, recently published 🤗: www.siegelendowment.org/insights/soh...
One of our awesome undergrad students in @princetonhci.bsky.social is working on this 😄 Please share and consider participating!
🏃♀️ homestretch! start your last day at #CHI2026 at the "Community Governance and Moderation" 9AM session tomorrow in Room 114 🤠 I'll be presenting our new work envisioning how we can make community-run social media more sustainable through a "community of communities": dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/...
