Abstract

There is an urgent and ongoing need to engage critically with race in human-computer interaction. In this workshop, we consider two intertwining aspects: first, how HCI research and practice should engage with race; second, how the HCI community itself can become more racially inclusive and equitable. The workshop offers a safe space for HCI scholars and practitioners to discuss how their experiences with race and racism impact their research and work life. Insights from critical race theory will inform the discussion. Workshop participants will draft a set of guidelines for research and a set of recommendations for SIGCHI leadership and the CHI community.

Recommendations

Critical Race Theory for HCI
CHI '20: Proceedings of the 2020 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

The human-computer interaction community has made some efforts toward racial diversity, but the outcomes remain meager. We introduce critical race theory and adapt it for HCI to lay a theoretical basis for race-conscious efforts, both in research and ...
Intersectional HCI: Engaging Identity through Gender, Race, and Class
CHI '17: Proceedings of the 2017 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

Understanding users becomes increasingly complicated when we grapple with various overlapping attributes of an individual's identity. In this paper we introduce intersectionality as a framework for engaging with the complexity of users' "and authors" "...
Examining Race in Healthcare-Focused HCI Research
CSCW '23 Companion: Companion Publication of the 2023 Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work and Social Computing

The human-computer interaction community has a long tradition of conducting research in healthcare settings. We conducted a systematic review of how race is defined and discussed in healthcare-focused HCI research. Beginning with an initial set of 514 ...
