CHI '26Technology Ethics & Critical HCI +2

I Participate, Therefore We Benefit: Ubuntu as a Relational Compass for Ethical Compensation in HCI

Compensation in HCI research is often the primary ethical interface between HCI researchers and low-income communities. Yet, prevailing models of compensation can perpetuate neocolonial extraction and frame participation as transactional labor. This practice risks creating dependency and obscuring power imbalances, ul…

Collectively Reimagining Artificial Intelligence With Marginalized Communities

As artificial intelligence continues to advance, marginalized communities, particularly in Africa, remain limited in their ability to shape what AI should do, how it should be built, and how it might benefit them. This study adopted a speculative co-design approach with participants from Ocean View, a low-income commu…

From Periphery to Presence: Authorship, Venues, and Education in African HCI

HCI in Africa is growing yet fragmented and underrepresented globally. We map 2002–2024 activity via a bibliometric scan of 500+ papers (~300 venues) and an institutional survey in 11 countries, situating results by population, connectivity, and policy readiness, and including work outside HCI labels (e.g., NGOs, tech…

Building a Digital Ecosystem for Community-Based Rehabilitation: Insights from a Multi-Platform Social Media Strategy in Thailand

Community-Based Rehabilitation (CBR) addresses these gaps by involving patients, families, and local stakeholders, ye…

Understanding How Parents Deal With the Health Advice They Receive: A Qualitative Study and Implications for the Design of Message-based Health Dissemination Systems for Child Health

Message-based health information dissemination systems can potentially improve maternal and child health (MCH). By conveying health information to parents, SMS- and chatbot-based systems can support parents’ learning and empower them to make better health decisions for their children. However, there is limited design…

Reconsidering Priorities for Digital Maternal and Child Health: Community-centered Perspectives from South Africa

Especially in developing regions, parents are rarely given a direct voice in the design of digital maternal and child health (MCH) interventions. Instead, MCH needs and requirements are driven by organizations and health workers. In this research, we engage with both rural and urban parents and community leaders to be…

CSCW '20Research Ethics Roundtable

Research Ethics Roundtable

An ongoing challenge within CSCW research communities is understanding research ethics’ norms and expectations as our methods and technologies evolve. This panel provides an annual opportunity to interface with SIGCHI’s research ethics committee, which advises SIGCHI reviewers on changing norms in HCI and social compu…

Exploring Co-design with Breastfeeding Mothers

Designing mobile applications for breastfeeding mothers can be challenging; creating spaces to foster co-design – when a mother’s primary focus is on her child rather than on design activities - is even more so. In this paper we discuss the development of the Milk Matters mobile application, a tool developed to motiva…

CHI '18Research Ethics & Open Science

An ongoing challenge within the HCI research community is the development of community norms for research ethics in the face of evolving technology and methods. Building upon a successful town hall meeting at CHI 2017, this panel will include members of the SIGCHI Research Ethics Committee, but will be structured to f…
