Abstract
This workshop focuses on remote care and wellbeing as we transition into a world increasingly adopting hybrid lifestyles and modes
of operation. Care and care work have predominantly been researched in traditionally in-person interpersonal contexts. The
burgeoning uptake and incorporation of information and communication technologies towards remote care have created new
workflows and resulted in emerging questions around the definitions and scope of care practice in response. The confluence of
technological, sociocultural, geopolitical, and climatic realities of
the current day brings into focus the need to unpack the idea of
“care,” and the role that HCI researchers could play in creating equitable futures of remote and hybrid care. This workshop will focus
on questions such as “What does holistic wellbeing look like in the
era of hybrid caregiving?” and “How does environmental care factor
into our research practice?” We invite researchers and practitioners
from academia and industry in this workshop to reflect on these
questions and advance the future of remote care work at CHI.
