Abstract
Reflection is recognised as vital for rigorous and responsible (HCI) research, yet it is often treated as secondary, hidden in the margins of papers. This meet-up invites CHI attendees to come together in the META HCI community to explore how we as researchers and practitioners reflect on our own practices-and how we might do so more intentionally. Over 90 minutes, the session will provide a lively, informal forum for sharing experiences, surfacing challenges, and discussing the role of reflection in HCI. By fostering candid conversations about ourselves, our practices, and the structures that shape the field, the meet-up offers an opportunity for collective self-examination and connection across subfields, laying the groundwork for an enduring community of reflective practice.
