The value of values for HCI: an informed discussion beyond philosophy

Academic literature has indicated a new moment for the HCI field that requires it to revisit methods and practices to consider aspects that are difficult to deal with, such as values and culture. This paper presents an informed discussion situated in the context of the Human Values Grand Challenge for HCI in Brazil, exploring possible understanding for values in HCI, the importance of the topic, and existing approaches. We draw on the literature and on our own research experiences in the topic to develop critical discussions and suggest possible directions for advancing the research and practice in the context of this challenge.
