Exploring Social Justice, Design,and HCI
The aim of this one-day workshop is to share existing research, discuss common practices, and to develop new strategies and tools for designing for social justice in HCI. This workshop will bring together a set of HCI scholars, designers, and community members to discuss social justice perspectives on interaction design and technology. We will explore theoretical and methodological approaches in and around HCI that can help us generatively consider issues of power, privilege, and access in their complexity. We will discuss the challenges associated with taking a justice approach in HCI, looking toward existing practices we find both productive and problematic. This workshop will bridge current gaps in research and practice by developing concrete strategies for both designing and evaluating social change oriented work in HCI, where agendas are made clear and researchers are held accountable for the outcomes of their work by members of their field site and the research community
User agency as a feminist frame in human computer interaction and information science
User agency within sociotechnical contexts supports both feminist reflexivity in HCI research, and the feminist ethnographic tradition present within Information Science. User agency as a unifying scholarly frame between these two disciplines that in turn expand our understanding of gender identity formation within information and computing environments
#CHIversity: Implications for Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion Campaigns
In this alt.chi paper, we reflect on #CHIversity a grassroots campaign highlighting feminist issues related to diversity and inclusion at CHI2017, and in HCI more widely. #CHIversity was operationalised through a number of activities including: collaborative cross-stitch and 'zine' making events; the development of a 'Feminist CHI Programme'; and the use of a Twitter hashtag #CHIversity. These events granted insight into how diversity discourses are approached within the CHI community. From these recognitions we provide examples of how diversity and inclusion can be promoted at future SIGCHI events. These include fostering connections between attendees, discussing 'polarizing' research in a conservative political climate, and encouraging contributions to the growing body of HCI literature addressing feminisms and related subjects. Finally, we suggest how these approaches and benefits can translate to HCI events extending beyond CHI, where exclusion may routinely go undetected
Human-computer interaction for development (HCI4D):the Southern African landscape
Human-Computer interaction for development (HCI4D) research aims to maximise the usability of interfaces for interacting with technologies designed specifically for under-served, under-resourced, and under-represented populations. In this paper we provide a snapshot of the Southern African HCI4D research against the background of the global HCI4D research landscape.We commenced with a systematic literature review of HCI4D (2010-2017) then surveyed Southern African researchers working in the area. The contribution is to highlight the context- specific themes and challenges that emerged from our investigation
A hauntology of participatory speculation
In this paper I conduct a hauntological analysis of participatory speculation, within the context of a study into understanding the potential for increasing recognition of LGBT+ young peopleâs experiences of hate crime and hate incidents. Hauntology provides a means to further situate accounts of speculation in Participatory Design by sensitising us to the interplay of the virtual and the actual that enables us to expand our sense of the possible. Through understanding how participatory speculation is shaped by absent presences, this paper contributes to the discussion of post-solutionist practices in PD that foster care and responsibility across multiple sites and forms of participation in the face of issues that resist resolution. I conclude by considering by translating speculation into shared spaces of wonder, Participatory Design can foster ethical commitments that stay with the trouble
Interacting with Masculinities: A Scoping Review
Gender is a hot topic in the field of human-computer interaction (HCI). Work
has run the gamut, from assessing how we embed gender in our computational
creations to correcting systemic sexism, online and off. While gender is often
framed around women and femininities, we must recognize the genderful nature of
humanity, acknowledge the evasiveness of men and masculinities, and avoid
burdening women and genderful folk as the central actors and targets of change.
Indeed, critical voices have called for a shift in focus to masculinities, not
only in terms of privilege, power, and patriarchal harms, but also
participation, plurality, and transformation. To this end, I present a 30-year
history of masculinities in HCI work through a scoping review of 126 papers
published to the ACM Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI) conference
proceedings. I offer a primer and agenda grounded in the CHI and extant
literatures to direct future work.Comment: 12 page
