“…Shifts in focus such as this are not uncommon in participatory design research (e.g. [2,36,10]) if not a central reason for using such methods [34]. However, it would be unfair to say that the initial assumptions of the research were not attuned to the experiences and perspectives of the participants.…”

“…Once we had given anger space to be expressed, what do we do with it? This question of what to 'do' with anger long troubled feminist and queer theorists: Ahmed acknowledges that anger should not be denied or ignored, but neither should it form the basis of a 'wound culture' in which we become too attached to pain [2]. The cause of this anger cannot be resolved with the immediacy of the participants' magic devices.…”

HCI is increasingly working with 'vulnerable' people, yet there is a danger that the label of vulnerability can alienate and stigmatize the people such work aims to support. We report our study investigating the application of interaction design to increase rates of hate crime reporting amongst Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender young people. During design-led workshops, participants expressed ambivalence towards reporting. While recognizing their exposure to hate crime, they simultaneously rejected being identified as victim as implied in the act of reporting. We used visual communication design to depict the young people's ambivalent identities and contribute insights into how these fail and succeed to account for the intersectional, fluid and emergent nature of LGBT identities through the design research process. We argue that by producing ambiguously designed texts alongside conventional outcomes, we 'trouble' our design research narratives as a tactic to disrupt static and reductive understandings of vulnerability within HCI.

“…As researchers, we are required to design projects if we wish to assemble resources and enjoy the status of a public research question. Despite the Enacting Entanglement: CreaTures, Socio-Technical… limitations of the "project" as a unit of action (Agid 2016), projects meet the challenges of delivery; reviewing them extends understanding of what can be achieved through co-working in specific situations and conditions. Moreover, projects offer frames to surface the epistemologies and ontologies that collaborators bring.…”

What happens when we try to enact theory in our practices of collaboration? The CreaTures project spent three years exploring the challenges of conceptualising and enacting entanglement in using creative practice to try and change worldviews towards understandings of interdependence. Acknowledging the backdrop to our work as pressing ecological breakdown, we sought to practice the cultural change we hoped to inspire. We discuss what we learnt about the socio-technical aspects of cooperation in managing entangled engagement as a methodological, as well as ontological, position. We centre this on a case study of how digital technology became a factor in both helpful and surprising ways during the project in response to the constraints of the Covid-19 pandemic. The paper concludes with reflections on how taking the spatial metaphor of entanglement, rather than scale, has helped us understand agency in our work. In discussing this transdisciplinary project as part of CSCW scholarship, we hope to open a space for questioning dominant techno-economic values and show how alternative philosophy can be enacted in practice in supporting transformation to a different design ethos.

“…As briefly discussed above, there is much work happening in the field that looks to work structurally. Designers should seek to partner with organizations where needed (while acknowledging the funding and time constraints NGOs are often under), and should critically question what their role is (Agid, 2016). We however…”

Structures Surrounding the ‘User’ in User Engagement: Gender-based Violence Design Engagements

User engagement is a dynamic social process influenced by who is involved and how. Here we argue that designers must account for the structural conditions of users’ lives, as they may have safety, accountability, and political implications. We review current scholarship in the area of user configuration and engagement from a ‘structural’ viewpoint of gender-based violence (GBV), to better understand such considerations. We propose three dimensions that might support designers in deepening their engagement in this area, namely: construction of the user, engagement within the context, and the designers’ position. We combine these dimensions as a framework to review and compare examples of designed outcomes for GBV prevention. This article suggests thoughts and questions to be considered by designers for thinking more structurally about GBV design, and for other contexts involving people experiencing vulnerability.
