Juan Pablo Hourcade received the 2010 HCI Hero Award at the University of Maryland's Human-Computer Interaction Lab's Symposium for his work with Natasha Bullock-Rest in organizing HCI for Peace. We hope the award will help raise awareness of HCI for Peace's goals and will encourage others to pursue research in this area.
