Going Global: A SIG on the Challenges and Perspectives of Internationalization Within and Across the World of HCI

As a premier international association for professionals, academics, and students who are interested in Human-Computer Interaction, SIGCHI has always been committed to diversity and inclusion. Over the years, SIGCHI Conferences have provided various venues to discuss matters that promote voices from diverse constituents. With this SIG, we would like to add to this effort, by bringing attention to barriers and opportunities for improvements in geographic inclusion at SIGCHI, and also highlighting efforts that were conducted before and might be adaptade to address ongoing challenges. We will assemble a geographically inclusive group of participants in a roundtable discussion to share their insights based on their lived experiences with geographic inclusion (at SIGCHI and elsewhere), and encourage the audience to engage in discourse with them.
