Citational Justice in HCI

About

This is a space for resources, events, and initiatives around citational justice in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and related fields. Citational justice and the processes that lead to it are collectively defined and contested, but the topic brings attention to questions of who is and is not cited for their knowledge and why. Citational justice is thus a starting point for critically examining the politics of knowledge production in HCI and academia more broadly, including as they intersect with knowledge production in other spaces and forms.

This space is currently cared for by an open collective of people interested in supporting conversations around citational justice in HCI. We have grown through talks/discussions, writing together, and holding workshops, and recognize that there are many beyond this collective who have and will discuss citational justice with different languages and lenses.

To plug into this collective's efforts, we invite you to join our Google Group—just email us with your name and a short bio. We also welcome suggestions for content that you think should be on this site!

Resources

The following list contains writings and initiatives that we have encountered over the past year as we have thought about citational justice, coming out of HCI and other disciplines and areas of practice. It demonstrates the varied ways citational justice and related ideas have been theorized and used. It is an expanding list and we welcome suggestions.
