ABSTRACT
The goal of this workshop is to raise awareness, spark discussion, and start shaping a research agenda in the field of Sustainable HCI. There are three interrelated imperatives for this Post Sustainability workshop. First motivated by the desire to move sustainable HCI (or Sustainable Interaction Design SID) "beyond persuasion". Second, the desire to move the sustainability of SID beyond an overly simplistic focus on single resource reduction. Third, the challenge of adaption to environmental impacts on society, potentially including societal contraction or collapse. The workshop will consist of a structured brainstorming session to construct a research agenda and then participants will, in groups, begin to develop action plans to realise this agenda.

A Decade of Sustainable HCI: Connecting SHCI to the Sustainable Development Goals
CHI '21: Proceedings of the 2021 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsSustainable HCI (SHCI) constitutes a relatively new research field within HCI. We have identified four literature reviews of the field conducted between 2009-2014. In this paper, we present and discuss the results of a systematic literature review of ...
Bringing Sustainability through, in, and of HCI into Conversation
DIS '23 Companion: Companion Publication of the 2023 ACM Designing Interactive Systems ConferenceSustainability has never been more critical for DIS researchers. Within the DIS and HCI community, the term has multiple meanings: In sustainable HCI, it frequently refers to ecologically sustainable lifestyles through the design of interactive systems ...
Rethinking sustainability in computing: from buzzword to non-negotiable limits
NordiCHI '14: Proceedings of the 8th Nordic Conference on Human-Computer Interaction: Fun, Fast, FoundationalRecent years have seen a flurry of work on sustainable computing and sustainable HCI, but it is unclear whether this body of work adheres to a meaningful definition of sustainability. In this paper, we review four interlocking frameworks that together ...
