Inaugural Lecture by Professor Torkil Clemmensen

Human-computer interaction (HCI) involves the study, planning, design, and uses of the interaction between people (users) and computers. Psychology is a major function of this multidisicplinary field. While this field has been extremely successsful since its birth in the early 1980ties, the spread of the practice of using computers to all corners of the globe - and the endless many new contexts of use - challenges the scientific foundation of the field and its fundamental concepts and methods. In this talk, I will review some of the key research questions that we may want to answer in order to reframe human-computer interaction as a cross-cultural and cultural psychology field.
