Abstract

Public policy increasingly plays a role in influencing the work that we do as HCI researchers, interaction designers, and practitioners. "Public policy" is a broad term that includes both government policy and policy within non-governmental organizations, such as standards bodies. The "Interacting with Public Policy" forum focuses on topics at the intersection of human-computer interaction and public policy.
