Sharing data while protecting privacy in citizen science

Abstract

Public policy plays an influential role in the work we do as HCI researchers, interaction designers, and practitioners. "Public policy," a broad term, includes both government policy and policy within non-governmental organizations. This forum focuses on topics at the intersection of human-computer interaction and public policy. ---Jonathan Lazar, Editor
