n SIGCHI LIFETIME PRACTICE AWARD
Along with the Lifetime Research Award, this is the most
prestigious award SIGCHI gives. It recognizes the very best and
most influential applications of human-computer interaction, work
that has impacted the field over a career
This year we present the Lifetime Practice Award to:
Joy Mountford
S. Joy Mountford most recently has been a consultant advisor to
the VP of Product and User Experience at eBay. In 2010 she was the
VP of Digital User Experience and Design for Barnes and Noble
managing the color Nook eBook experience, and in 2009 was an
Osher Fellow at the Exploratorium in San Francisco, CA. Through
her long career in human-computer interaction she has been an
internationally recognized leader in the field. Joy has designed and
led teams designing a wide variety of systems including airplane
cockpits, personal computers, ecommerce, consumer electronics,
musical instruments, and toys. She was a VP of User Experience
Design at Yahoo! and led the Design Innovation group doing Data
Visualization. Joy had her own design consultancy, idbias, and
before that was a senior project lead at Interval Research where she
led a series of musical and eBook development projects. She
headed the acclaimed Human Interface Group at Apple in the late
'80s and '90s, and she began her career as a designer at Honeywell
and a project leader for Visual Metaphors in the Interface Research
Group at Microelectronics Computer Consortium (MCC). Joy
presented widely and assembled the team who wrote the mediarich
chapters in the seminal book, The Art of Human Computer
Interface Design. She is on various boards across the design and
interaction community, including as an elected board member of
the International Design Conference in Aspen. She has also been
an invited plenary speaker across the industry, including at CHI’94.
Her focus areas have been interdisciplinary team management,
data visualization, innovation, and advising corporations on the
place of design, as a source of value and of delight. The
International Design Expo which she created and continues to lead
(with various corporate sponsors) has touched the lives of
thousands of students for more than 20 years, and has created an
amazing legacy that has helped grow the next generation of
interdisciplinary graduates in design.
n LIFETIME SERVICE AWARD
Mike Atwood
Mike Atwood is Professor and Associate Dean at the College of
Information Science and Technology at Drexel University. Previously,
he was a Technical Director at the NYNEX Science and Technology
Center. He has a long record of service to SIGCHI and the CHI
community, beginning with the Program Committee for the first
Human Factors in Computer Systems Conference in Gaithersburg in
1982. He has held a range of conference positions since then for
dozens of international conferences and workshops. He reviews for
and serves on the boards of HCI journals. He served on the SIGCHI
Executive Committee from 1993 to 2002, including four years as Chair.
Kevin Schofield
SIGCHI 2012 Awards
Kevin Schofield is General Manager for Strategy and Communications
at Microsoft Research. His organization drives consensus on technical
strategy and priorities for Microsoft’s research efforts. He joined
Microsoft in 1988, and has worked in Microsoft Research since 1997.
Over the course of his tenure at Microsoft, he worked in both
development and program management for a number of Microsoft
product efforts, including networking, operating systems, MSN, and
multimedia authoring tools. He has been involved with the Human-
Computer Interaction (HCI) research field for a number of years.
He previously served as Chair of ACM’s Special Interest Group on
Computer-Human Interaction (SIGCHI) and co-chair of the
CHI’96 Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems. He
is the co-author of three issued patents and several pending ones.
n SIGCHI SOCIAL IMPACT AWARD
This award is given to individuals who promote the application of
human-computer interaction research to pressing social needs.
Bayta Friedman
Batya Friedman is a Professor in the Information School, Adjunct
Professor in the Department of Computer Science, and Adjunct
Professor in the Department of Human-Centered Design and
Engineering at the University of Washington where she directs the
Value Sensitive Design Research Lab. Batya pioneered value sensitive
design (VSD), an approach to account for human values in the design
of information systems. First developed in human-computer
interaction, VSD has since been used in information management,
human-robotic interaction, computer security, civil engineering,
applied philosophy, and land use and transportation. Her work has
focused on a wide range of values, some include privacy in public,
trust, freedom from bias, moral agency, sustainability, safety,
calmness, freedom of expression, and human dignity; along with a
range of technologies such as web browsers, urban simulation,
robotics, open source tools, mobile computing, implantable medical
devices, computer security, ubiquitous computing and computing
infrastructure. She is currently working on multi-lifespan information
system design and on methods for envisioning – new ideas for
leveraging information systems to shape our futures. Voices from the
Rwanda Tribunal is an early project in this multi-lifespan information
system design program.
