Abstract

Why should we teach for more-than-human perspectives in design? With the rise of an increasing interest in various more-than-human perspectives in design research, it is time for the DIS community to consider how more-than-human perspectives can be integrated into the design and Human-computer interaction (HCI) curriculum. In this one-day workshop, we will invite participants to bring activities and materials from their own teaching of more-than-human perspectives in design (if you have no experience, you are also welcome). Through structured and facilitated reflections, these pedagogical activities and materials will be analysed and mapped to build an overview of existing practices, explore similarities between them, and articulate challenges that come with teaching more-than-human perspectives in design. The participants will be invited to continue sharing teaching practices after the workshop, to sustain the network and keep working towards a future curriculum for more-than-human in design.
