For our first meeting in August, we discuss Anna Croons article “Thinking with care in human-computer-interaction” from 2022. Anna Croon is an associate professor at the Faculty of Computer Science at Umeå University in Sweden. She is head of the Feminist Technoscience research group, which develops critical perspectives on everyday digital practices based on design-oriented and feminist theories.

In the article presented, human–computer interaction (HCI) is explored as a design-oriented practice. By considering feminist accounts of situated knowledges and touching visions, it is argued that feminist thinking is well on its way to offering real alternatives of great importance for HCI.
