“…The topic of this panel is the possibly controversial proposition that there are not three, but rather four paradigms of HCI, and the additionally possibly controversial proposition that this fourth paradigm is specifically the paradigm of transdisciplinary design [1]. Moreover, this fourth paradigm of transdisciplinary design is a necessary and vital curricular principle in HCI and design education in the current landscape of design, which does not neatly fit into old disciplinary or paradigmatic categories anymore.…”

Transdisciplinary design-which is the idea of design that transcends disciplinary boundaries-has been proposed as a fourth design paradigm of interaction design education, scholarship, and practice alongside the technical, cognitive, and ethnographic paradigms. As an educational concern in particular, its aim is to teach students how to bring a values orientation to interaction design. Its focuses are design frameworks, values and ethics, design for important themes such as sustainability, equity, adaptation, justice, and social responsibility. This panel maps the state of the art in transdisciplinary interaction design education, considering also design scholarship and practice in relation to design education. The panel collects together a group of educators from chosen to provide a global perspective, with panelists from Canada,

“…In this paper, in line with other recent discussions [8], we take up the challenge of envisioning this next wave, seeking to demonstrate how a fourth-wave HCI/IxD -'distinguished ... by its primary focus on politics and values and ethics' -is a necessary designation. While previous waves have remained 'value-neutral', a fourth-wave poses a means of 'avoid[ing] the centrality of teleological, positivist notions of interaction design', and emphasises 'that being thoughtful about what to make and the implications of making are central concerns' [8]. We would agree but go further still, insisting that a fourth wave must push harder for actual (e.g.…”

We take up Bødker's [9] challenge to 'identify' a fourth wave HCI, building on the work of Blevis et al. [8] and others to shore up a new vision that places 'politics and values and ethics' at the forefront without abandoning the strengths of previous waves. We insist that a fourth wave must push harder, beyond measured criticism for actual (e.g. institutional) change. We present two studies performed at CHI'19, where we used our MANIFESTO! game to: 1) take the temperature of colleagues on adopting an activist stance, 2) test manifesto writing as a key activity in pushing HCI forward into the fourth wave, and 3) test our game for subsequent iterations, and as a probe for inspiring new digital tools. With the enthusiastic response received to gameplay, facilitated in part through a novel method using tableau vivant, we argue for taking political activism from the margins into mainstream HCI.

“…UX is an interdisciplinary field that has absorbed ideas from multiple disciplines [14], and has been referenced as an emerging trans-discipline that creates a new fusion of human interests in relation to interaction and service (e.g., [4]). Due to the emergent and evolutionary nature of this new inter-and transdisciplinary space, ideas and opinions in the UX field are contested, often lacking even a consensus over the definition of UX.…”

New occupations are emerging that have high job demand in the market, but lack a coherent body of disciplinary knowledge. For example, user experience (UX) design is an emerging occupation that has not been adequately supported by the traditional educational system. For learners beginning their undergraduate education, there is no concrete path to follow to become a UX professional, due to few UXfocused undergraduate academic programs. Online communities of practices have been recognized as important learning venues, even while institutions of formal education often lag behind in structuring knowledge production and distribution. However, little is known about how knowledge is generated and diffused in online communities in the context of emerging occupations with volatile knowledge boundaries. In this paper, we analyze knowledge production in relation to social roles in an online UX community. We show that knowledge production is highly distributed, involving the participation of community members of varied levels of experience. We discuss how online communities support the development of the UX occupation.
