Ecofeminism and sustainable HCI
Gopinaath Kannabiran · 2014
HCI's engagement with issues of sustainability has progressively increased over the recent years. Despite this, important aspects of ecological issues such as the socio-cultural and political remain largely unengaged with. My dissertation research outlined here is an attempt to contribute towards addressing such a gap, along with others in the field. My work remains inspired by ecofeminist philosophy, strives towards action-oriented praxis, and focuses on critical notions of social equity, identity, and agency with respect to the design and use of technological interventions to solve ecological issues within HCI.
