Award Roundup: Regents’ Professor to be Recognized for Lasting Impact at CSCW

The ACM Conference on Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) will award Regents’ Professor Amy Bruckman and three former Georgia Tech graduate students with its 2025 Lasting Impact Award.

The award is given to a paper published at least 10 years ago that has impacted the CSCW research field.

Bruckman and her co-authors — Jill Dimond (PhD HCC 2012), Michaelanne Dye (Ph.D. HCC 2019), and Daphne LaRose (MS CS, 2011) — authored the paper Hollaback!: The Role of Collective Storytelling Online in a Social Movement Organization in 2013.

“This paper was chosen because as an early paper that centered feminist HCI and action research, it has had a strong impact in the field,” said Jessica Vitak, one of the general chairs of the 2025 CSCW conference. “It is an early example of academic attention to “publics” or interest groups and how they are increasingly networked.

“This paper offers the CSCW community an opportunity to reexamine the role that CSCW can play. The broader impact of this line of research is evident in the numerous sessions in 2025 that focus on community-engaged research, activism, and advocacy.”
