Although it has influenced the field of Human-Computer Interaction
(HCI) since its origins, humanistic HCI has come into its own since
the early 2000s. In that time, it has made substantial
contributions to HCI theory and methodologies and also had major
influence in user experience (UX) design, aesthetic interaction,
and emancipatory/social change-oriented approaches to HCI. This
book reintroduces the humanities to a general HCI readership;
characterizes its major epistemological and methodological
commitments as well as forms of rigor; compares the scientific
report vs. the humanistic essay as research products, while
offering some practical advice for peer review; and focuses on two
major topics where humanistic HCI has had particular influence in
the field-user experience and aesthetics and emancipatory
approaches to computing. This book argues for a more inclusive and
broad reach for humanistic thought within the interdisciplinary
field of HCI, and its lively and engaging style will invite readers
into that project.

HCI's Making Agendas examines how making has emerged as an
interdisciplinary arena of scholarship, research and design that
connects entrepreneurs, designers, researchers, critical theorists,
historians, anthropologists, computer scientists and engineers.
Human Computer Interaction (HCI) is one among many other fields and
domains that has declared having a stake in making. And yet, a lot
of what and who defines making is happening outside the familiar
research laboratory or design studio. This monograph reflects on
HCI's relationship to making and how this relationship has changed
over the last years. Making, it argues, presents HCI with the
opportunity to question and revisit underlying principles and
long-held aspirations and values of the field. Exactly because HCI
and making share some fundamental ideals such as user empowerment
and the democratization of participation and technology production,
making confronts us with both the potential and the unintended
consequences of our own work. HCI's Making Agendas is intended to
bring readers into maker research and practice, to cultivate their
appreciation for making's many potentials while shining a critical
light on cases of over-optimism and even delusion, and to empower
you, the reader, to participate in this project of making.
Recent years have seen a growing number of calls for considering
gender in the design or evaluation of software, websites, or other
digital technology. Calls like these have arisen from an emerging
awareness in HCI of findings from the social sciences that are
relevant to the way people use and design technology. However,
emerging work on bringing together gender research with software
design choices is fragmented across multiple disciplines. This
monograph aims to help bring such works together, by synthesizing
the current state of affairs and future possibilities on how gender
comes together with HCI design. The authors of this monograph
consider inclusive design of technology whatever the gender of its
users of particular importance. This conceptual review provides an
overview of the motivations that have driven research in gender and
inclusive HCI design. The authors review the empirical evidence for
the impact of gender in thinking and behavior which underlies HCI
research and design. They present how HCI design might
inadvertently embed and perpetuate gender stereotypes. They also
present current HCI design approaches to tackle gender stereotypes
and produce gender-inclusive designs. The monograph concludes by
discussing possible future directions in this area.
