... El cambio climático es un hiperobjeto (Morton, 2013), un sistema complejo y dinámico arraigado en interrelaciones y dependencias multiescalares y múltiples entre actores humanos, ecológicos y tecnológicos. Las tecnologías emergentes pueden ayudar a esta causa, pero los ideales tecnocráticos que sustentan gran parte del pensamiento NetZero (cero emisiones netas) y de la Economía Circular no proporcionarán por sí solos las respuestas (Stead, 2023;Sharma et al., 2023). ...

... Systemic publishing practices that marginalise researchers can be mitigated by engaging in citational justice practices that "...uplift marginalized voices with the knowledge that citation is used as a form of power in a patriarchal society based on white supremacy" [148]. This may include seeking out and citing research articles from women and other marginalised groups in computing that investigate learning from non-dominant groups' experiences [3,84,148]. ...

... To address the externalities that may arise from both of these forms of technology, technologists must engage with design processes that grapple with those issues from the outset, rather than seeing them as a secondary concern. Design processes that take many stakeholders into account, including nonhuman species and ecosystems, 94 have a greater chance of doing so effectively. 95 One approach to addressing the harms of future technologies is a "benign technology" perspective. ...

... China has become a free-floating signifier for the omnipotent digital dystopia, without history, culture, or institutional complexity. In its extreme rendering, China is equated with (the equally acontextual) totalitarian Nazism or Stalinism, defined by an all-crushing statethe 'Big Brother'that controls every aspect of citizens' life and mind; all this hides in the dark that requires heroism to infiltrate (Li & Nardi, 2021). This genre proliferates especially around China's Social Credit System, despite scant evidence for empirical analysis (e.g., Zuboff, 2018). ...

... In that sense, Hip Hop and rap are understood as pedagogical tools, as they bring together curricular and extracurricular activities (Aliagas Marín, 2017). We consider the students' funds of identity (Esteban-Guitart, 2016), by recognising and legitimising, but most importantly by incorporating and using as pedagogical practice the knowledge and resources of their communities (Cortez et al., 2021). As CSP preserves and promotes linguistic and cultural pluralism as a way of democratising the school system (Paris, 2012), we need to consistently remind ourselves that our role as a teacher is to empower students linguistically (Aliagas et al., 2016). ...

... Alongside ethical shifts towards life-centred design (Borthwick, Tomitsch, and Gaughwin 2022), researchers emphasise viewing humans as interconnected with their environment and other beings, which underscores the importance of considering diverse relationships and practices. This is evident in Barton et al. (2023) 'home personas' representing a family perspective, or in animal personas (Frawley and Dyson 2014), object personas (Cila et al. 2015), and 'ecosystemas' (Tomlinson et al. 2021) that represent an entire ecosystem. ...

... The use of activity theory, specifically in the capstone, to understand digitalization in schools as a societal issue seem to have attempted by few. There is an ongoing discussion and orientation within the activity theory community specifically concerning understanding our contemporary 'digital world' with activity theory (e.g., Karanasios et al., 2021). This thesis has contributed theoretically towards this object. ...

... In context of their mapping [17], this research falls under "formative user studies" genre and explores problems in local, collective contexts. This work is adapted from and builds on qualitative research techniques used by previous formative user studies within S-HCI to report on and champion special consideration of practices by people who lead alternative sustainability life styles [8,28,58,90] and people who grow food [3,10,44,48,63,93]. Our work extends this area of research by engaging in observant participation, a qualitative research method that anthropologist João H. Costa Vargas [92] differentiates from the traditional participant observation to underline the importance of participation rather than observation. ...

... More recently, SID and SHCI have focused on the environmental impact of materials and technology [14][15][16]; reflected on how sustainable behaviours and practices can be supported through design [54,76], and on finding commonalities in the different HCI conceptions of sustainability [64]. In addition, Knowles and colleagues [64] noted a recent shift in SHCI research that emphasises considering people as "a latent force for good in the fight for sustainability" instead of "contributors to unsustainability" ( [64] p. 471) (see also the recent contribution of Nardi [81]). These authors also suggested SHCI should not focus on the solution to defined problems but on supporting change in the main framework related to culture and power. ...

... It also reveals a disconnect between the field of Interaction Design and the broader and more holistic understanding of sustainability promoted by the Brundtland report and various global sustainability initiatives. This gap, previously referred to as "the elephant in the room for Sustainable HCI" [40], aligns with the broader observation that a comprehensive consideration of all three dimensions-environmental, social, and economic-is essential for fostering true sustainable development [27]. We will address this aspect again in Section 5. ...
