Institutionalizing HCI: what do i-schools offer?

Abstract

I-schools (schools of information, of informatics, of information studies, and of information sciences) have emerged as a new academic home for university programs in HCI. This panel will discuss the significance of i-schools in US universities, related international university-level education movements and trends, the role and possible trajectory of HCI within i-schools, and how the SIGCHI community can play a role in contributing to this development.
