  • 1.  Invitation to Psychology of Technology Conference – Oct. 21-22, 2016

    Posted 04-12-2016 22:35
    Dear Colleagues,

    Nate Fast and I would like to invite you to an interdisciplinary conference on the psychology of technology, co-sponsored by the University of Southern California and UC Berkeley, to be held on October 21-22, 2016 in Los Angeles, CA.

    The conference will bring together cutting-edge researchers who work at the intersection of psychology and technology from a broad array of disciplines including psychology, sociology, organizational behavior, communications, computer science, anthropology, consumer behavior, strategy, and others. Topics will include how technology is changing: a) the self and identity, b) processes related to judgment and decision making, c) experiences of work – e.g., through human-robot collaborations, algorithm use, etc., d) social interaction, and e) opportunities for empirical and theoretical advancements in the fields of psychology and organizational behavior.

    Confirmed speakers include Jim Blasovich (UCSB), Brian Scassellati (Yale), Larry Rosen (CSU, Dominguez Hills), Sara Kiesler (Carnegie Mellon), and Ben Waber (MIT, Humanyze). We have space for a number of additional talks and would like to hear from you if you are interested in sharing your work.

    Call for speakers: If you are interested in giving a 20-30-minute talk on your research related to the psychology of technology, please submit a one-page (or shorter) description of your research, along with the name of your institution, your academic title, and email address to Mindy Troung at mindytru@marshall.usc.edu
    . Deadline for submissions is 
    April 22, 2016    . We expect to announce final selections by May 31, 2016. If you are a graduate student, you are welcome to submit an abstract, and if selected, will be invited to present a poster at the conference.

    If you are interested in attending but would prefer not to give a talk, please send your contact information and CV to Mindy Troung (see above) and indicate the current research you are doing related to the above topics. Space is limited, but we will do our best to accommodate requests.

    If you have further questions, please contact co-chairs Nate Fast (nathanaf@usc.edu) or Juliana Schroeder, (jschroeder@haas.berkeley.edu).

    Best wishes,

    Juliana Schroeder
