“…topic. Yet given the longstanding scholarship on the gendered nature of non-digital forms of housework [18,19,30,33,50,53] we find this gap to be surprising. Like Bardzell and Bardzell [2], we take the stance that feminism provides a lens for technology critique and aim to make such a critique with respect to digital housekeeping.…”

Prior work examining technology usage and maintenance practices in homes describes division of labor in terms of technical expertise. In this paper, we offer a counter-narrative to this explanation for engagement with Ubiquitous Computing. Using feminist theory as an analytic lens, we examine how gender identity work is a determining factor of whether and how people engage with digital technologies in their homes. We present a model of gender & technical identity co-construction. CCS CONCEPTS• Human-centered computing → Human computer interaction (HCI)

“…The project itself draws on a body of work that is concerned with the centrality of mothers in household work and childcare [9,22,23], something that remains more or less unacknowledged in information systems research, including, as far as we know, HCI and CSCW (with [4] and [28] as exceptions). We tread carefully in orienting this research, intending not to suggest that mothers are uniformly the primary caregivers and supervisors of households, but rather to recognize that, despite the ever-changing patterns of work and family structures, mothers, by and large, continue to play the primary role in organizing and managing family tasks and activities [9,23].…”

In this paper we introduce the idea of organizing systems. Through a number of examples from an ongoing ethnographic study of family life, we suggest that organizing systems come about through the artful design and use of informational artifacts in the home, such as calendars, paper notes, to-do lists, etc. These systems are not only seen to organize household routines and schedules, but also, crucially, to shape the social relations between family members. Drawing attention to the material properties of informational artifacts and how assemblies of these artifacts come to make up organizing systems, we discuss some general implications for designing information technology for the home. Most importantly, we suggest that technologies must be designed to accommodate the rich and diverse ways in which people organize their homes, providing them with the resources to artfully construct their own systems rather than enforcing ones that are removed from their own experiences.

“…More recent work on the study of place has focused on concepts such as routine and everyday life. Routines are ‘the mundane process by which meaning is created and maintained even in the face of the chronic flux and disturbance of experience’ (Martin, 1984, 23). Cities can be considered as dynamic, moving bodies composed of rhythm and movement (Highmore, 2005).…”

Walking as a ‘Radicalized’ Critical Psychological Method? A Review of Academic, Artistic and Activist Contributions to the Study of Social Environments

The study of social environments is a neglected site of research not only in psychology, but across academic disciplines ranging from human geography to cultural studies. This paper will review contributions to studying social environments through academic writings, situationism and psychogeographical groups. It will be argued that disorientating walking practices can be used as a means to reflect on experiences of places in order to begin to think how social environments could be radically changed. It is important to question the taken for granted ways that people make sense of urban environments. It is argued that psychogeographic practice can be used to extend qualitative epistemologies and methods to argue for a 'turn to place' in psychology and to open up new methods and approaches in critical psychology. Finally, the implications for radicalising critical psychological research methods will be considered in relation to the current status of critical psychology, which suffers from an apathetic vision of radicalism and criticality.
