Abstract

Science fiction media has had a long lasting influence on the progression of interactive technology, however recently contradictions are emerging in the development of the two disciplines. Therefore, in this exploratory position paper we report on the insights attained through a day long workshop amongst scientists and researchers on how the collaboration between science fiction and Human Computer Interaction (HCI) can be advanced. Discussions in the workshop focused on detailing the relationship between HCI and science fiction. In conclusion, as our main contribution an action plan and agenda is presented for facilitating deeper influences amongst the two disciplines.

A theoretical agenda for feminist HCI

HCI has a complex and often ambivalent attitude towards the issue of gender and interactive systems. Here I discuss three dominant paradigms for treating gender in HCI, and discuss their limitations. Next, I will present the theoretical perspectives on ...
Feminist HCI: taking stock and outlining an agenda for design
CHI '10: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

Feminism is a natural ally to interaction design, due to its central commitments to issues such as agency, fulfillment, identity, equity, empowerment, and social justice. In this paper, I summarize the state of the art of feminism in HCI and propose ...
Reprioritizing the relationship between HCI research and practice: bubble-up and trickle-down effects
DIS '14: Proceedings of the 2014 conference on Designing interactive systems

There has been an ongoing conversation about the role and relationship of theory and practice in the HCI community. This paper explores this relationship privileging a practice perspective through a tentative model, which describes a "bubble-up" of ...
