“…In response, researchers and designers have involved participants in design futuring by co-designing futures [59,108], creating activities or experiences for participants to engage in [7,36,58,74], or using design futuring artifacts as probes to elicit participants' reflections in values-centered research [17,50,83,120]. Several design futuring projects consider smart home cameras and themes related to privacy and surveillance, including Pierce et al's speculative exploration of smart camera surveillance metaphors [86][87][88]93], Tan et al 's in-home speculative probes with participants to imagine new relationships with their own cameras [105], and Cheng et al 's design research camera platform that allows for home participants to actively or passively share their recording data [25].…”

We use a design workbook of speculative scenarios as a values elicitation activity with 14 participants. The workbook depicts use case scenarios with smart home camera technologies that involve surveillance and uneven power relations. The scenarios were initially designed by the researchers to explore scenarios of privacy and surveillance within three social relationships involving "primary" and "non-primary" users: Parents-Children, Landlords-Tenants, and Residents-Domestic Workers. When the scenarios were utilized as part of a values elicitation activity with participants, we found that they reflected on a broader set of interconnected social values beyond privacy and surveillance, including autonomy and agency, physical safety, property rights, trust and accountability, and fairness. The paper suggests that future research about ethical issues in smart homes should conceptualize privacy as interconnected with a broader set of social values (which can align or be in tension with privacy), and reflects on considerations for doing research with non-primary users.

As posthumanist or post-anthropocentric research in HCI and design proliferates and further commits to working with morethan-humans, design research practitioners are left with many open questions and uncertainties with how to productively engage with more-than-humans in their thinking and working. This paper present results from a workshop with 17 researchers working at the intersection of care ethics and posthumanism to highlight tensions in posthumanist engagement aimed at unpacking some of the challenges, obstacles, and questions encountered by researchers interested in more-than-human centered design. In foregrounding tensions with representation, legitimization, unseen labor, and material narratives we contribute to a design research agenda which seeks to explicate and challenge dominant anthropocentric forces from design. We conclude by discussing epistemological care and urge practitioners to take up new ways of imagining through truly messy methods which contribute to a feminist unsettling of HCI's methodological commitments, practices, and praxis.
