ABSTRACT
In this late-breaking work, we describe the legacy of feminist theory within HCI literature, focusing on Shaowen Bardzell's seminal publication "Feminist HCI: Taking Stock and Outlining an Agenda for Design," which was one of the first to propose adoption of feminist theories into HCI research and practice. We conducted a citation analysis of 70 published texts that cited this paper, using the Harwood functions to identify how feminist theory concepts have been cited in HCI and whether the implementation of proposed frameworks has taken place. This paper was mostly given 'credit,' and most frequently 'signposted' to keep readers on track of the topical issues in HCI, with little evidence of explicit use or extension of proposed frameworks. These results demonstrate a largely one-dimensional impact, characterized by a lack of deep engagement in feminist theories. We identify opportunities to expand feminist approach to further improve research and practice in HCI.

Towards a feminist HCI methodology: social science, feminism, and HCI
CHI '11: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsWith substantial efforts in ubiquitous computing, ICT4D, and sustainable interaction design, among others, HCI is increasingly engaging with matters of social change that go beyond the immediate qualities of interaction. In doing so, HCI takes on ...
Feminist HCI: Taking Stock, Moving Forward, and Engaging Community
CHI EA '18: Extended Abstracts of the 2018 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsFeminist HCI has made a profound impact on perceptions of women's health, emancipation through design, as well as gender identity, inclusion, and diversity. However, there is a distinct lack of connection between these disparate but inherently connected ...
Feminist HCI: taking stock and outlining an agenda for design
CHI '10: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsFeminism 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 ...
