Participatory Design that Matters—Facing the Big Issues (2018, background): “With our analysis of the state of the field of HCI at large, this seems a necessary concern for the field of HCI, if it wants to escape the iron grip of the big corporations (see e.g., discussion of Google’s implicit data gathering in [72]).”
The Participatory Turn in AI Design: Theoretical Foundations and the Current State of Practice (2023, background): “To address this conundrum, participation scholars have called on researchers and practitioners to shift their role away from directly engaging in design activities towards configuring the context and procedures through which meaningful stakeholder participation and design contribution can take place”
The diversity of participatory design research practice at PDC 2002-2012 (2015, methodology): “Second, we provide a critical survey of the role of users, emphasizing the way in which users are involved in various phases of the design process, thus addressing Vines et al. (2012, 2013)’s calls for clarifying how users are involved, why they are chosen, and what their contributions are.”
