    <strong><span>Talk title:</span><span> Designing Trans Technology </span></strong><div><br></div>
    <div>
    <strong>Abstract:</strong> Transgender and nonbinary people face substantial challenges in the world, ranging from social inequities and discrimination to lack of access to resources. Though technology cannot fully solve these problems, technological solutions may help to address some of the challenges trans people and communities face. In this talk I will discuss how "trans technology" can be designed. Drawing from participatory design research with trans and nonbinary people, I detail four types of technologies trans people envision: technologies for changing bodies, technologies for changing appearances and gender expressions, technologies for safety, and technologies for finding resources. I show how centering trans people in the design process enabled inclusive technology design that primarily focused on sharing community resources and prioritized connection between community members. Next, I will discuss some of my research conceptualizing life transitions more broadly and people's online sharing behaviors surrounding them. Finally, I will describe next steps for trans technology design research. <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <strong>Bio:</strong> Oliver Haimson is an Assistant Professor at University of Michigan School of Information and a recipient of a National Science Foundation CAREER award. He conducts social computing research focused on understanding and designing for social technology use during life transitions, with a primary research goal of impacting technological inclusion of marginalized users. One of his main research areas is transgender experiences with social technologies. His research has been published in conferences and journals including CHI, CSCW, TOCHI, New Media and Society, and Social Media + Society.<div><br></div>

<Title>CS3 Launching New Grant Reviewer Directory</Title>
<Tagline>Need help with a proposal?</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <h5>Center for Social Science Scholarship Grant Reviewer Directory</h5>
    <p><span>The Center for Social Science Scholarship is launching a directory of social science faculty who are available to review grant proposals by other faculty members. The goal is to strengthen the social science grant pipeline, support faculty who might be the only ones in their department working in a field, connect faculty looking for a reviewer from another discipline, and to foster</span> collaborative research relation<span>ships in the social science community.</span></p>
    <p><span>Faculty seeking a review must also volunteer to be listed in the directory to review proposals of others, except for non-tenured faculty and faculty who have not yet received an external award. Reviewers need at least two weeks of lead time to complete a review. They may also decline to review a proposal if it falls outside of their expertise, if they have serious time constraints, or if there is a conflict of interest. Faculty should not wait for a review to be concluded to approach MIPAR about their proposals. Be sure to follow the </span><a href="https://cahss.umbc.edu/files/2019/10/deadlines-grants-routing.pdf" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>CAHSS proposal timeline</span></a><span>.</span></p>
    <p>The directory will be published on the <a href="https://socialscience.umbc.edu/research/grant-reviewer-directory/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">C<span>enter's website</span>.</a> Faculty members are added to the directory on a rolling basis. To be added to the directory, please contact Felipe Filomeno at <a href="mailto:filomeno@umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>filomeno@umbc.edu</span></a>.</p>
