Operationalizing Perceptions of Agent Gender: Foundations and Guidelines

The “gender” of intelligent agents, virtual characters, social robots, and other agentic machines has emerged as a fundamental topic in studies of people's interactions with computers. Perceptions of agent gender can help explain user attitudes and behaviours—from preferences to toxicity to stereotyping—across a varie…

Civil Data Disobedience: Navigating Data Interaction Challenges in Human Rights Defense Organizations

The increasing digitalization of society has intensified the importance of secure and effective data management. For human rights defender organizations, these demands are complicated by scarce resources and risks of surveillance and online harassment. Simultaneously, regulatory frameworks such as the GDPR shape how t…

A Collaborative Crowdsourcing Method for Designing External Interfaces for Autonomous Vehicles

Participatory design effectively engages stakeholders in technology development but is often constrained by small, resource-intensive activities. This study explores a scalable complementary method, enabling broad pattern identification in the design for interfaces in autonomous vehicles. We implemented a human-center…

"What do I do now?": Spontaneous Human Responses to Robot Effectiveness and Efficiency Malfunctions in Collaborative Robotics

Robot malfunctions are unavoidable in human–robot collaboration and oftentimes detrimental. Yet humans are rarely instructed on how to respond in such moments, leaving ample room for spontaneity and unpredictability. We studied 65 participants working alongside a collaborative robot under both normal operation and del…

"Chasing Shadows”: Understanding Personal Data Externalization and Self-Tracking for Neurodivergent Individuals

We examine how neurodivergent individuals experience creating, interacting with, and reflecting on personal data about masking. Although self-tracking is often framed as enabling self-insight, this is rarely our experience as neurodivergent individuals and researchers. To better understand this disconnect, we conducte…

Digital Play in Nature: A Study of Digital Play Installations from a Nature Play Perspective

While digital play installations for outdoor use are becoming more common, little work has been done on how such technology shapes play in nature-rich environments. We performed a study of children’s self-directed play with access to nature as well as digital installations. Our findings show that play with nature mate…

Towards Personalized Physiotherapy through Interactive Machine Learning: A Conceptual Infrastructure Design for In-Clinic and Out-of-Clinic Support

Machine learning (ML) is increasingly used in healthcare practices, due to its potential to support personalization, diagnostic and prediction, automatization, and increase effectiveness. In physiotherapy, most existing ML solutions suggest replacing the physiotherapist, neglecting the complexity of their skills and p…

Toward Feminist Ways of Sensing the Menstruating Body

Bodily fluids associated with the menstruating body are often disregarded in the design of menstrual-tracking technologies despite their potential to provide valuable knowledge about the menstrual cycle. We prototyped a finger-worn sensor that measures vaginal fluid conductivity, which fluctuates throughout the cycle,…

Imagining with the Body: Speculative Designs for Women's Embodied Empowerment in Feminist Self-Defense

Feminist self-defense combines physical self-defense with mental strength exercises through role-playing scenarios. It aims to challenge limiting beliefs about women’s abilities to respond to interpersonal violence. We present the experiences from feminist self-defense classes in Sweden and the results of a set of spe…

Identifying Critical Points of Departure for the Design of Self-Fashioning Technologies

Designing technologies that clothe, adorn, or are otherwise placed on the body raises questions concerning the role they will play in dressing ourselves. We situate self-fashioning – or the process through which we stylise and present our bodies – as a complex practice where a series of social, material, and contextua…
