“…For example, recent discourses on racism and injustices experienced by a group of scholars working to improve the ACM [37] was followed by multiple responses of support from others in the community (see e.g., [83,104]). This particular case also is reminiscent of previous experiences of censorship of those made marginal in academia illustrated, for instance, when an article about pleasure in LGBT + sexuality was not allowed to be published in the Human to Human ACM XRDS magazine [2], by the necessity for researchers to respond to their experiences of marginalisation at the CHI conference through the #CHIversity campaign [138,141], or by the ways in which disabled authors have experienced epistemic violence [163].

How WEIRD is CHI?

“…Kumar and colleagues [48][49][50][51][52] have been coordinating "HCI Across Borders" workshops and symposia at CHI since 2016 with the aim of including under-served communities and diverse populations into the CHI community. During their workshop "CHInclusion" at CHI 2019, Strohmayer et al [80] focused on "social and community issues, as well as various grassroots communities".…”
