Iteration is a central feature of most HCI design methods, creating as it does opportunities for engagements with stakeholder groups. But what does iteration demand of those groups? Under what conditions do iterative engagements arise, and with what stakes? Building on experiences with Aboriginal Australian communities, and drawing on feminist and decolonial thinking, we examine the nature of iteration for HCI and how it frames encounters between design and use, with a focus on the affective…

Rethinking Technology Design and Deployment in Africa: Lessons from an African Standpoint
Research in HCI4D has emphasized the need for a critical analysis of how conventional design paradigms and analytical orientations work in non-western contexts. This necessitates an examination of…
Getting Ourselves Together: Data-centered participatory design research & epistemic burden
TLDR
This paper describes three varieties of epistemic burden drawn from two case studies based on the authors’ previous work with anti-police brutality community organizations and calls for a reorientation of knowledge production away from putative design solutions to community problems and toward a more robust interrogation of the power dynamics of research itself.
The Benefits of Using Design Workbooks with Speculative Design Proposals in Information Communication Technology for Development (ICTD)
  • Susan Wyche
  • Psychology
    Conference on Designing Interactive Systems
  • 2021
TLDR
It is argued that design workbooks can benefit the field of Information Communication Technology and Development (ICTD), and findings from interviews conducted with 22 participants in Bungoma, Kenya suggest that the design workbook method supports a participant-driven interview process.
Cracks in the Success Narrative: Rethinking Failure in Design Research through a Retrospective Trioethnography
What can design researchers learn from our own and each other's failures? We explore “failure” expansively—turning away from tidy success narratives toward messy unfoldings and reflexive…
Codeveloping a multibehavioural mobile phone app to enhance social and emotional well-being and reduce health risks among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women during preconception and pregnancy: a three-phased mixed-methods study
TLDR
Developing a mobile phone app, particularly in an Aboriginal community setting, requires extensive consultation, negotiation and design work and a strong theoretical foundation of behavioural change technique’s coupled with the consultative approach has added rigour to this process.
Child-Computer Interaction in the Global South: Designing for Children on the Margins
TLDR
This workshop aims at tracing research lines and questions around methodological and technological in designing tools to support children on the margins in the Global South.
Why Should Computer and Information Science Programs Require Service Learning?
Service learning-an educational experience in which students provide service to a community partner while learning content knowledge, professional skills, and critical thinking-can provide…
Speculation and the Design of Development
TLDR
Analysis of two historical cases of technology-infused development projects in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador and in Jamaica finds that speculation in these contexts remixes the constructive stance toward speculation typical for normative technoscience with the critical, contesting orientation of speculative design.
Decolonising Speech and Language Technology
TLDR
This paper reviews colonising discourses in speech and language technology, and suggests new ways of working with Indigenous communities, and seeks to open a discussion of a postcolonial approach to computational methods for supporting language vitality.
A Systematic Review and Thematic Analysis of Community-Collaborative Approaches to Computing Research
HCI researchers have been gradually shifting attention from individual users to communities when engaging in research, design, and system development. However, our field has yet to establish a…

Community Consensus: Design Beyond Participation
The importance of user involvement in design activities has been widely recognized in efforts to design more usable and acceptable systems. Tools and methods used in some approaches, such as…
Being participated: a community approach
TLDR
The concept of participatory design from a different viewpoint is explored by drawing on an African philosophy of humanness -Ubuntu-, and African rural community practices, to inspire and refine participatoryDesign concepts and methods beyond the particular context of the authors' own experiences.
The Allure and the Paucity of Design: Cultures of Design and Design in Culture
TLDR
The limits and rhetorics of design in HCI and in the broader cultural settings within which HCI is embedded are examined.
Postcolonial computing: a lens on design and development
TLDR
This work inspires four key shifts in the approach to HCI4D efforts: generative models of culture, development as a historical program, uneven economic relations, and cultural epistemologies, and reconsideration of the practices of engagement, articulation and translation in other contexts.
The user reconfigured: on subjectivities of information
TLDR
It is argued that subjectivities of information clarifies the relationships between design choices and embodied experiences, ways that designers design users and not just products, and ways to cultivate and transform, rather than merely support, human agency.
New challenges for design participation in the era of ubiquitous computing
Since the advent of participatory design in the work democracy projects of the 1970s and 1980s in Scandinavia, computing technology and people's engagement with it have undergone fundamental changes.…
Ways of Knowing in HCI
TLDR
This textbook brings together both new and traditional research methods in Human Computer Interaction to gain an understanding of the type of knowledge each method provides, its disciplinary roots and how each contributes to understanding users, user behavior and the context of use.
When the implication is not to design (technology)
TLDR
This paper presents a series of questions that can help researchers, designers, and practitioners articulate a technology's appropriateness or inappropriateness, and concludes with specific arguments for improving the conduct of HCI.
Designing for Intersections
TLDR
This work develops the lens of intersectionality by drawing on the work of Rita Kaur Dhamoon, and uses it to analyze data collected from a multi-sited ethnographic study of seven low-resource learning environments in the Indian states of Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, and West Bengal.
The relationship of action research to human-computer interaction
TLDR
The historical context and origins of AR, the scientifically rigorous practice of conducting and evaluating AR projects, and the ways in which AR might meaningfully be applied to HCI research are described.
