Towards a Gender HCI Curriculum

The interaction between humans and computers, at the center of HCI research, embodies societal values and norms relating to gender and other forms of identity. However, there is limited knowledge and understanding among students and researchers regarding theories of and approaches to gender. We therefore argue for integrating Gender HCI as part of HCI curriculum and education. We also provide a brief outline of the core topics, learning outcomes, and possible activities and assessments a Gender HCI module should cover.
