“…Most articles described one benefit of CCA as developing researchers' understanding of a partner community and their context (n=39, 83%). Researchers argued such projects gave them a better understanding of 'users' (e.g., their experiences, challenges, needs) and the integration of technology into the communities in which it will exist [35,109,119]. Reflecting on the similarity of challenges faced by their partner community and other marginalized communities, Haimson et al [53] suggest that the understanding of a community gained by researchers from a community-collaborative project may be relevant to understanding the experience of other marginalized communities.…”

HCI researchers have been gradually shifting attention from individual users to communities when engaging in research, design, and system development. However, our field has yet to establish a cohesive, systematic understanding of the challenges, benefits, and commitments of community-collaborative approaches to research. We conducted a systematic review and thematic analysis of 47 computing research papers discussing participatory research with communities for the development of technological artifacts and systems, published over the last two decades. From this review, we identified seven themes associated with the evolution of a project: from establishing community partnerships to sustaining results. Our findings suggest that several tensions characterize these projects, many of which relate to the power and position of researchers, and the computing research environment, relative to community partners. We discuss the implications of our findings and offer methodological proposals to guide HCI, and computing research more broadly, towards practices that center communities.
