Abstract

The Executive Committee (EC) of ACM Special Interest Group on Computer-Human Interaction (SIGCHI) organized a series of ten equity talks from March 2021 to August 2021. These were hour-long recorded virtual roundtable sessions, for which we solicited participation from the SIGCHI community on concerns and questions relating to equity, in a number of areas relevant to SIGCHI. Many concerns were listed, some were repeated across topics, and the EC followed due diligence when it came to presenting this information to the community. What comes next?
