Masterclass Description
Masterclasses provide the opportunity to learn about specific methods, concepts, and approaches from experts in the related field within small in-depth group discussions. Masterclasses facilitate a focused discussion on any CSCW related topic and enable organizers to elaborate on theoretical foundations in the form of lectures as well as engage participants in hands-on learning experiences. We also encourage proposals that address computing’s impact on societal issues and/or the ECSCW communities broad interest in theories, methods, and approaches from other disciplines interested in working across society and computing. While masterclasses are open to a broad range of participants, these are particularly targeted at early career researchers and Ph.D. students. Masterclasses may be half-day or full-day sessions.
