What's Up with Culture? Organizer:

PANEL SUMMARY This panel addresses the challenge of conceptualizing cultural variation in CSCW research and tool development. It will start with a brief overview of currently popular theories of cultural difference, followed by panelist and discussant presentations addressing key issues with respect to culture: (a) Are cultural differences an important concept for CSCW? (b) If so, what are appropriate ways to characterize these differences? (c) What kinds of differences are most relevant to our work? We will end the panel with audience questions and commentary.
