Expanding the Boundaries: A SIGCHI HCI & Sustainability Workshop

Following a challenge issued to the Sustainable HCI (SHCI) community to broaden its boundaries to increase breadth and depth of impact [16] this workshop will explore 5 key questions to encourage SHCI research to play a broader role in tackling global sustainability issues and to support the societal change that this will require. Out of this, it will produce a map of existing and future research agendas, and a collaborative position statement. It will also provide an environment of support and challenge to allow individuals working in this research area to consider their personal practice and the difficulties (both practical and emotional) they may encounter.
