Shaowen Bardzell is an Assistant Professor of Human-Computer Interaction Design in the School of Informatics and Computing and the Affiliated Faculty of the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender, and Reproduction at Indiana University. She is on the Editorial Board of the journal Interacting with Computers.

Shaowen specializes in socio-cultural computing, with an emphasis on emotional, intimate, and embodied experiences, a series of research themes that contribute to the broader agenda of feminist HCI that she is developing.

Recent work has focused on exploring the intersections between HCI’s rising interest in social change and feminist social science, sexual and intimate interactions, designing for emotion in non-western homes, and the application of critical and cultural theories for developing concept-driven design strategies.

Dr. Bardzell co-directs the Cultural Research in Technology (CRIT) Group and the User Engagement Research Lab at Indiana University—Bloomington.
