NOMADS: The HCI Podcast!

Connie and Sunny, two HCI grad students talk to professionals from diverse and rich backgrounds in the field of Human-Computer Interaction. As you see, we'd like to call ourselves NOMADS as we have been moving from place to place, away from our comfort zones, friends and family not only for opportunities and wisdom, but mainly because we want to make these societies more Equitable, Humane and Accessible through HCI and Technology! While HCI, Design and Tech are considered to be niche and fancy, I think we are responsible to create outreach about what we do and why it matters for all the 7 billion people(in the long run, of course).

NOMADS: The HCI Podcast!

Pilot: Story of HCI and why it matters, now more than ever!

August 28, 2020 • Sunny Manduva • Season 1

Welcome to the Pilot episode of NOMADS, a podcast by Sunny and Connie! We kickstart the show by talking about why we decided to start a new podcast about people working in the field of Human-Computer Interaction (and why we named it NOMADS!). Diving deep into the world where computers are ubiquitous, we talk about the origins of HCI and how it is helping us all making our societies more humane, equitable and accessible!
