The article contains some stereotypes, language, and violence that may be upsetting. This is the most personal article I've written, but I can speak candidly about my identity while some people are afraid. It seemed like a good time to share.

I've mostly moved to BlueSky, but here's a cross-post: I wrote an article about my many identities (white, person of color, American, Bengali, others) and the obstacles I experienced to understanding them.

Quick reminder that I'm more active on BlueSky and LinkedIn. I'm easy to find on both.

Here's a Penn State News article about our recent CSCW paper, which received a DEI recognition from the conference. https://t.co/rmaqb4q4pg

Finally, if you're a friend (broadly speaking!) you can connect with me on Facebook. Again, I'm easy to find.

My enthusiasm for Twitter varies. Here are three other online places you can find me:

I'm recently trying B***sky (not sure if Twitter is still censoring posts that mention it) and I'm easy to find over there. Just search for my first name. I've been posting nearly the same things there that I would on Twitter.

[Shomir Wilson @ShomirWilson]

I used the Sky Follower Bridge plugin for Chrome. It needed my B***sky password, which I changed immediately afterward.

[Shomir Wilson @ShomirWilson]

I’ve created an account on b***sky to give it a try. My handle there is simply my first name. Please follow me there if you also use it.

Also, one of the privileges of being mid-career in academia is witnessing the story arcs: triumphs, obstacles, periods of uncertainty, and second acts. They play out slowly, and they build up over time.

Wrapping up at #CSCW2024, something I've remarked about before but perhaps not in detail:

I've felt a night-and-day contrast between attending conferences when I knew almost no one and attending conferences when I know several people.

[Shomir Wilson @ShomirWilson]

The idea of "networking" is tiring, but I think an alternative exists. Awhile ago I started thinking about the network as the product, not the activity. I'm looking less for the whether people are useful and more for interesting conversations. It's an improvement overall.

Re current #cscw2024 Town Hall discussion: Mileage may vary, but this is among the most solid big-conference wifi I’ve used. Credit to the organizers and venue.

[Shomir Wilson @ShomirWilson]

Relevant to being at #cscw2024: For people at their very first computing(-adjacent) conference, I’ve written a conference guide. It includes what events happen, what you should do to take advantage of the experience, and strategies to start conversations. https://t.co/k10fwhq1Yr

Starting soon in Central 3, my collaborator @CGraziul will present this paper #CSCW2024

[ACM CSCW @ACM_CSCW]

This #CSCW2024 paper reveals how broadcast police communications disproportionately focus on Black individuals, amplifying privacy risks. With the rise of AI, these concerns are more urgent than ever. @PranavVenkit @CGraziul @ShomirWilson https://t.co/QWP5PphsN5
