H-STAR was a Stanford interdisciplinary research center focusing on people and technology<\/h1>\n

H-STAR, the Human-Sciences and Technologies Advanced Research Institute, ceased its formal operations on March 31, 2022. This website contains highlights from over the two decades of operation. We humbly acknowledge the intellectual strength and generosity of the Stanford research community in providing thought leadership and in engaging in exploratory dialogues to share early results, preliminary findings, and nascent research questions. H-STAR was administered in the Stanford Graduate School of Education and was a Stanford interdisciplinary research center focusing on people and information technology \u2014 how people used technology, how to better design technology to make it more usable (and more competitive in the marketplace), how technology affected people’s lives, and the innovative use of technologies in research, education, art, business, commerce, entertainment, communication, national security, and other walks of life.<\/p>\n
