The theme of this year's conference was "Communities, Technology and This Moment." CIRN 2021 explored how researchers and practitioners ethically collect information, including what happens when community information is deliberately not collected and how information systems can be designed "in harmony with communities."

Presentations include:

PhD student Yingying Han and Informatics PhD Daniela M. Markazi presented "Outlining a Design Justice-based Social Media Website for University Students in the Age of COVID-19" with Samual Narang.

Brunton, Farzana Shirin, Glorynel Ojeda-Matos, Victor Funes-Leal, Sinta Sulistyo, Jill Heemstra, Michael Stablein, Samuel Reed, and Luis F. Rodriguez.
