ABSTRACT
Collaboration across distances is a core interest in CSCW. During the COVID-19 pandemic, most people were forced to work from home, and this long-term change in work conditions revealed both opportunities and challenges that continue to affect the post-pandemic future. While we do not know in which specific ways, we are certain that it will combine analog and digital work practices. Hybrid work consists of both collocated and distributed people whose collaboration is enabled by physical as well as digital artefacts. This PhD research aim to comprehend cooperative engagements across the spectrum of fully collocated and completely virtual, focusing the placement of hybrid work. We study how hybrid work can be conceptualized within the research field of CSCW. This conceptual grounding is vital for understanding the extent and implications of hybrid work in designing technologies to support future work practices

Collocated Distance: A Fundamental Challenge for the Design of Hybrid Work Technologies
CHI '23: Proceedings of the 2023 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsAfter the pandemic, it is urgently important to explore the special challenges which arise with hybrid work. Through cross-case analyses of published papers, we propose collocated distance as a design challenge uniquely relevant for hybrid cooperative ...
Achieving Symmetry in Synchronous Interaction in Hybrid Work is Impossible
Designing new technologies to support synchronous interaction across distance has for many years focused on creating symmetry for participation between geographically distributed actors. Symmetry in synchronous interaction has, to some extent, been ...
