Aspire Lab @ Science Tokyo (Associate Professor Katie Seaborn)

Aspirational computing is a multidisciplinary initiative that aims to spark innovative research and design practice in human-computer interaction (HCI) at the crossroads of critical computing, psychology, and intersectional design. Our goal is to critically examine how computers affect people and societies, identify fundamental problems and opportunities, and explore novel solutions from an aspirational perspective.
