The workshop was interactive, involving a mix of focused small-group discussions and whole-group brainstorming. In the introductory session, participants briefly introduced their research and current work and described an ethical dilemma they have encountered in their research – something like a “researchers’ anonymous” session.
The workshop included two breakout sessions with parallel small group discussions. Participants were divided into pre-established reading groups and engaged in a “Q&A” discussion about each position paper. In the afternoon we had an active brainstorming session, with small groups responding to scenarios that described ethical dilemmas HCI researchers have encountered.
