Ksenia Beloturkina presented her Late-Breaking-Work at CHI 25!
Ksenia Beloturkina presented her late-breaking work, "Charting the Design Space for Platform Cooperatives" (co-authored with Prof. Dr. Anton Fedosov, University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland, and Prof. Dr. Elaine M. Huang, University of Zurich), at the Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI 2025) in Yokohama, Japan.The paper explores the unique characteristics of platform cooperatives - a fairer alternative to monopolistic platform-based companies - focusing on how fairness and equity are embedded in their design and how users perceive these values. It also provides actionable design recommendations to help manifest fairness characteristics through platform design.
In addition, Ksenia participated in the CHI 2025 workshop "Maternal Machines: Imagining Experiences in Perinatal Care." This workshop fostered thought-provoking and motivating discussions on how HCI technologies in perinatal care can move beyond quantifiable data and embrace sensorial, non-numerical forms of knowledge.
