Five CHI PLAY Papers I Like: On Championing Published Work That Has Merit
summary
Argues CHI PLAY does a poor job documenting why awarded papers matter and offers four reasons to champion published papers: strengthens judgment, makes reviewers more constructive, reveals hidden scholarly values, and restores community joy. Applies three selection rules: full papers only, one per year, no self-authored work. Praises papers that synthesize diverse literatures, pose provocative methodological questions, or deliver cool and elegant study designs that reveal surprising findings and change how games are appreciated.
