The 2026 DTR annual letter is out! I share how we create space for our students to become. I talk about how we relate to one another, and how we play. I talk about going on tour, and “coming out” on what DTR is really about. I talk about sea otters. Enjoy! dtr.northwestern.edu/letters
Really enjoyed visiting @allen_ai today to share how we help students grow as researchers, and as people.
Tomorrow at noon, I’ll be at the UW DUB seminar talking about advancing human values and tackling the human problems that computing has yet to solve: dub.washington.edu/seminars/…
The 2025 DTR annual letter is out! I open up about how we care for our students, and help them grow in ways that universities often overlook. I also share thoughts on the activity of research, and how we can engage with it in light of its goods. Enjoy! DTR.northwestern.edu/letters

“Students in DTR learn planning, help seeking, reflection, critical thinking, whole-brain thinking, and collaboration — the stuff that we all need as we go out and face the really complex challenges in the world," says Haoqi Zhang.

CASMI researcher @hqz is sharing his philosophical journey, which has reshaped his way of thinking about human values and engagement. He presented his paper at @acm_chi on Tuesday. READ MORE: casmi.northwestern.edu/news/…
I wrote a philosophy paper for #CHI2024 to explain the limits of computers in supporting intrinsically valuable human activities. This was a difficult paper to write, because it challenges fundamental assumptions we make in HCI and in CS, that were largely invisible to me. 🧵1/
We are still left to search for the good in our activities, in the context of the socio-technical configuration in which we find ourselves. This is a foundational challenge in learning to live a good life, and one that, may help us to think a bit more about, in HCI and in CS. 17/
You can read my paper here: users.eecs.northwestern.edu/…
I hope you find it an engaging, thought-provoking read. Enjoy. /end🧵
