I don't have much time to write about it before CHI deadline, but pasted some info below. The TA ship would be teaching grad students who have zero knowledge of HCI about methods like design, prototyping, interviewing, participatory design, technology probes. Happy to discuss more. You don't necessarily have to be expert in those methods, you can put in time to learn it, and you already know way more than (for e.g.) a randomly chosen CS or ML student who s doesn't even have an undergrad course in HCI (i.e. they have first year undergrad knowledge of HCI).
If you *might* be interested put in an application before Thu 19 Sep deadline and we can talk after CHI. Thanks!
