Decolonizing HCI Across Borders

Published: 08 May 2021 Publication History

Abstract

The HCI Across Borders (HCIxB) community has been growing in recent years, starting with the Development Consortium at CHI 2016 and the HCIxB Symposia at CHI since. This year, we intend to hold an HCIxB workshop that aims to foster the scholarship potential of student and early career HCIxB researchers across the world, particularly those from and in the Global South, engaging on the topic of decoloniality. Through this symposium, we aim to create space for discussions that have been emerging in pockets of the HCI community, but could benefit from greater focus and attention in the interest of demarginalizing members and research areas of the community that have thus far remained on the margins of the discipline. We expect this virtual workshop at CHI 2021 to be an inaugural session for a series of virtual events that will help continue this conversation on decolonizing HCI’s borders.
