DESCRIPTION:Dourish\, P. (2006). Implications for Design. In Proc. ACM Con
 f. Human Factors in Computing Systems CHI 2006 (Montreal\, Canada).\n\nAva
 ilable online at:\nhttp://www.ics.uci.edu/~jpd/publications/2006/implicati
 ons-chi2006.pdf\n\nOriginal abstract: \nAlthough ethnography has become a 
 common approach in HCI research and design\, considerable confusion still 
 attends both ethnographic practice and the criteria by which it should be 
 evaluated in HCI. Often\, ethnography is seen as an approach to field inve
 stigation that can generate requirements for systems development\; by that
  token\, the major evaluative criterion for an ethnographic study is the i
 mplications it can provide for design. Exploring the nature of ethnographi
 c inquiry\, this paper suggests that implications for design may not be th
 e best metric for evaluation and may\, indeed\, fail to capture the value 
 of ethnographic investigations.\n\nRubric for the reading group: \nEveryon
 e attending is expected to read the paper in advance. Please bring a copy 
 with you\, preferably annotated with interesting reflections. The format o
 f discussion will be a brief invited introduction/critique by two members 
 of the group\, followed by general discussion and informal mixing.
