Addressing Global HCI Challenges at the Time of Geopolitical Tensions Through Planetary Thinking and Indigenous Methodologies
摘要
HCI researchers and practitioners witness an even more divided world in 2025 that manifests global inequalities and disparities, triggered by local politics and global and regional geopolitical tensions, and perpetuated by sociocultural structures. This workshop invites participants to reimagine a new world order of HCI at the time of geopolitical tensions with the emerging ontology of the planetary thinking. We aim to explore local design principles, rationales, and heuristics for global HCI design projects. It is our first step towards defining how planetary thinking can help scale up HCI design approaches to address global challenges and risks to nurture the well-being of diverse species for and with the planet that we live on. Our goal is to achieve technology diversity by including diverse local values and intellectual traditions in our design processes with an emic strategy inspired by indigenous design methodologies.
