Abstract
· The paper What is Digital Wellbeing? A Leverage Points Framework to Guide Research and Action is authored by Alberto Monge Roffarello and Luigi De Russis from Politecnico di Torino, together with Monica Molino from Università di Torino.
Despite the growing interest in digital wellbeing within HCI, the concept itself remains inconsistently defined. In this paper, we propose a layered taxonomy that characterizes digital wellbeing across three dimensions: technology scope and users, mediators, and strategies. The taxonomy is grounded in a scoping review of ten years of CHI publications and refined through its application to 68 student projects developed within our multidisciplinary course on digital wellbeing. Building on this foundation, we advance the Leverage Points for Digital Wellbeing, a framework inspired by systems thinking that situates interventions along self-oriented, collective, and systemic orientations of change. Our conceptual model provides an actionable account of digital wellbeing — one that captures users' evolving entanglements with technology, including generative AI, as well as the broader social and political conditions in which these entanglements unfold.

· The paper When Handwriting Goes Social: Creativity, Anonymity, and Communication in Graphonymous Online Spaces is authored by Aditya Kumar Purohit and Aditya Upadhyaya (co-first authors), Nicolas Ruiz, Alberto Monge Roffarello, and Hendrik Heuer. This work is a collaboration between the Center for Advanced Internet Studies (CAIS) in Bochum, the University of Wuerzburg, and Politecnico di Torino.
The paper introduces Graphonymous Interaction, a novel form of communication where users interact anonymously via digital handwriting and drawing. Through an analysis of over 600 canvas pages from the CollaNote platform, 20 user interviews, and 70 minutes of real-time sessions examined with Conversation Analysis and Multimodal Discourse Analysis, the study reveals that this mode of interaction fosters artistic expression, intellectual engagement, sharing, and social connection. Notably, anonymity coexisted with moments of recognition through graphological identification, and distinct conversational strategies emerged that allow smoother exchanges compared to text-based communication.
