In this call we invite papers for Track 3 (more info here https://ifip.ue.edu.pe/submissions).
HCI for Ethical Value Exchange and Social Inclusion (Track 3):
Despite presenting some examples of local and indigenous perspectives relevant for HCI for Development (HCI4D), the final analysis of HCI in an international development context is still far from complete. A number of questions are raised: What are the ethical issues in engaging in HCI4D activities? What are the power relations and scripts embedded in this process? While HCI as a discipline carries values of participation and the ultimate beneficiary is the user, there are more complex ethical issues of value co-creation and informed consent in projects where there are clear intercultural and interdisciplinary dimensions shaping inclusion.
Topics include (but are not limited to):
- Ethically Driven Development or Refinement of Interface Artifacts or Techniques
- Understanding Users from a socially inclusive and ethical perspective
- Ethically Driven HCI Systems, Tools, Architectures, and Infrastructure
- Socially inclusive HCI Methodologies
- Ethically Driven HCI Theories and Models
- HCI Innovation, Creativity and Vision from the Global South
- Argument/Provocative Essays about Socially Inclusive and Ethically Driven HCI
- Validation and Refutation of work done for the Global South
- Developing local and indigenous capacity in HCI and HCI4D
- Cases-studies on HCI education and training in the Global South
