HCI on the Move: Methods, Culture, Values

摘要

As HCI is taken up across different cultures, its methods have typically been presumed to be culturally universal. Though evidence suggests that they are not, dimensions of cultural specificities of HCI methods are not understood. Through detailed fieldwork with design practitioners in Delhi, India, I propose to develop a framework for understanding tacit material, cultural, and value commitments in HCI design methods, opening up possibilities for alternate conceptions of design.
