Abstract

The role and influence of HCI research in addressing the challenges of sustainability remains unclear despite ongoing interest. Sustainability-oriented paper authors, workshop participants, SIG attendees, and panelists have made ambitious predictions about the contributions of the CHI community and identified critical directions for the field. But have lessons from the past decade of HCI & Sustainability research been taken substantively into practice, within and beyond the CHI community? Have they had a significant positive influence on the vitality of the world's ecosystems? If not, how can we re-orient? This workshop is a venue for taking concrete action to integrate what we have learned about sustainability - from within and beyond HCI - into a common framework to guide the community toward more influential contributions and more rigorous evaluations of HCI & Sustainability research.

Have We Taken On Too Much?: A Critical Review of the Sustainable HCI Landscape
CHI '22: Proceedings of the 2022 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

By CHI 2022, fifteen years will have passed since the emergence of Sustainable HCI (SHCI), which now constitutes an important subfield of HCI. In this paper, we draw on two SHCI corpora to ask: Has SHCI progressed? How has the field responded to ...
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 Systems

Sustainable 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 ...
This Changes Sustainable HCI
CHI '18: Proceedings of the 2018 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

More than a decade into Sustainable HCI (SHCI) research, the community is still struggling to converge on a shared understanding of sustainability and HCI's role in addressing it. We think this is largely a positive sign, reflective of maturity; yet, ...
