Work Life Balance in HCI - SIG Meeting
Contribution & Benefit: This SIG explores possible solutions to the challenges that HCI researchers and practitioners face in their everyday lives in an attempt to maintain a work life balance.
Abstract » With the pervasiveness of technology, it has not only permeated our workspaces but it has also become invasive in our private personal spaces. Whether on the sports field, in the home, in health or spiritual spaces, technology is ever present. With this persistent presence, it keeps us constantly connected to our work, extending work beyond the normal working hours that used to be sharply demarcated by physical distance between work and play. This SIG will discuss the challenges and possible interventions to maintain work life balance for HCI researchers and practitioners.
