CHI '26Behavior Change & Reflection Technology +2

Exploring the Role of Interaction Data to Empower End-User Decision-Making in UI Personalization

User interface personalization enhances digital efficiency, usability, and accessibility. However, in user-driven setups, limited support for identifying and evaluating worthwhile opportunities often leads to underuse. We explore a reflexive personalization approach where individuals engage with their digital interact…

HCI for Agroecology: Agri-Tech between Grassroots and Capitalism

Digital technologies in agriculture are typically portrayed as enabling more sustainable production while increasing productivity. Yet, commercial solutions rarely address the root causes of unsustainable farming, limiting the uptake of more radical solutions such as agroecology. We conducted fieldwork on 11 UK small-…

No Spirituality Please, We’re HCI: Challenges for HCI Research on Religion and Spirituality

Religion and spirituality (R/S) shape billions of lives, yet they remain marginal in Human–Computer Interaction (HCI) research. Prior literature reviews mapped fragments of this space but missed key contributions and the lived realities of its researchers. We extend this picture through a review of 206 ACM and IEEE pu…

Civic Care in Place: Subtle Technologies and Community Stewardship in a Marginalized Context

How do communities sustain public spaces when formal infrastructure fails? In Stanley, UK a post-industrial town facing infrastructural neglect and climate-related flooding, residents sustain their environment through micro-acts that formal participation metrics fail to capture. Through surveys, interviews and a diary…

Scattered Searches, Broken Apps, Quiet Repairs: A Feminist Autoethnographic Critique of Technology and Research on Gender-Based Violence

This paper presents a feminist autoethnographic critique of technology and research on gender-based violence, grounded in my lived experience and current work as an HCI researcher engaged in community-led design on forced marriage and broader gender-based violence. Through chronological narratives, I recount encounter…

CaseCompass: Designing Sustainable, Community-Led Socio-Technical Systems for Gender-Based Violence Support Work

Third sector organizations that address gender-based violence often rely on makeshift tools to manage complex, emotionally intensive casework. Although digital systems promise structure, most fail to support the narrative, relational, and time-sensitive nature of frontline support. This paper presents the design, deve…

Co-Designing Islamic AI Ethics: Insights from the UK Muslim Community

AI governance frameworks are predominantly shaped by Western, secular values, which risks excluding the perspectives of 1.9 billion Muslims whose ethical reasoning is grounded in Islamic principles. To address this gap, we conducted co-design workshops with 12 Muslim women, to identify Islamic ethical values for AI sy…

The Development and (Mis)appropriation of a Digital Kit for Jewellers

Jewellers’ participation in interaction design is scarce, yet the creativity of jewellers could add value as they interpret materials and mediate personal connections in poetic ways. We investigate how to empower jewellers to experiment with the possibilities that physical computing offers to their practice. This arti…

Lull: Designing Crip Pacing Technologies

Energy limiting conditions (ELC), such as long COVID and ME/CFS, require the careful monitoring and pacing of activity and rest to avoid over-exertion. Commercially available fitness tracking technologies are currently being “misused” to manage these conditions. Based on co-design research with people with ELC, we con…

Exploring Legal Journeys in Family Justice Systems: Towards Relational Design Approaches to Advance Access to Justice for Domestic Abuse Survivors

Access to justice includes mechanisms enabling people to have their voice heard, exercise their rights, and hold decision-makers accountable. This paper reports on an exploratory study aiming to understand Domestic Abuse (DA) survivors’ experiences of legal journeys through Family Court (FC) and Family Justice Systems…
