CSCW 2012 Workshop Proposal

We are submitting a workshop proposal for CSCW 2012 concerning Privacy in Social Media.  Here is the abstract of the extended abstract:

Social media is the one of the newest among many ways individuals manage their social interactions with others. When the benefits of using social media are examined, it is rare that they are linked back to privacy. However, when framed correctly, privacy can be a means to enhance social media outcomes opposed to impeding them.  This workshop broadens the lens of social media privacy to examine the benefits and outcomes of interactional privacy as they relate to social media goals. The workshop will also focus on designing for social media interfaces that are responsive to end users’ changing privacy needs.

This workshop has generated quite a bit of interest as we have five co-authors/organizers and a ten member program committee (even before the workshop has been accepted)!

Co-Organizers

• Heather Richter Lipford
• Pamela Wisniewski (myself)
• Cliff Lampe
• Lorraine Kisselburgh
• Kelly Caine

Program Committee

• Coye Cheshire, University of California Berkeley
• Catherine Dwyer, Pace University
• Woodrow Hartzog, Samford University
• Adam Joinson, University of Bath
• Jen King, University of California Berkeley
• Airi Lampinen, Helsinki Institute for Information Technology HIIT & University of Helsinki
• Deirdre Mulligan, University of California Berkeley
• Fred Stutzman, Carnegie Mellon University
• Janice Tsai, Microsoft
• Michael Zimmer, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee

So, now, all we need is for the workshop to be accepted so that we can start writing up a CFP.
