“…In computing research, studies involving racial and ethnic minorities have included the impact of mentorship, the experiences of computer science students, [19][20][21] and advanced academic careers in computer science. 22 As impactful as that work has been, there is a lack of knowledge about racial and ethnic minority experiences among fulltime software developers. Because race and ethnicity are not globally applied uniform concepts, 23 we face a question: how can we collect data about race and ethnicity within global software development in our attempt to increase the percentage of people who are not white and who thus do not have a privileged position?…”

“…Feminist HCI has had a wide impact in studies related to women's health [6,14], emancipatory design [19] and our understanding of gender and design [27,83]. It has also been extended to include intersectional concerns developed by Black feminist theorists-that is to say, design approaches that consider how experiences of oppression exist at the intersection of multiple, interlocking forces of oppression such as racism and sexism [42,73,76,81,92,93]-as well as design technologies for trans* and non-binary users [2,58].…”

“…For example, work by Clarke and Wright [28] shows how digital stories created by survivors of domestic abuse might promote empowerment for the storytellers as well as mobilize cross-cultural understanding. Researchers have made the point that who is speaking and who is listening matters deeply-in their paper bridging critical race theory with HCI, Ogbonnaya-Ogburu et al narrate their own stories of race-based oppression in order to expose how racism surfaces in the field of HCI [73]. In Michie et al's work [69], the group prototyped a platform for using personal stories in pro-choice abortion advocacy work and found that participants saw personal narratives as a way to "break the silence" in a culture that considers abortion a taboo topic.…”

Initially conceived as problem-focused programming events, hackathons have expanded to encompass a range of issue areas, stakeholders and activities. There have been important critiques of hackathons in relation to their format and structure, their epistemological assumptions, and their outputs and impacts. Scholars working in Feminist HCI have proposed design considerations for more inclusive hackathons that focus on social justice outcomes for marginalized groups. Evaluative work on hackathons has assessed entrepreneurial contributions, skill development, and affective impacts, but largely absent from the analysis is a view of longterm personal impacts on participants. What kinds of lasting impacts (if any) do issue-focused hackathons have on participants themselves? In this paper, we describe a post-hoc qualitative study with participants and organizers of a postpartum health hackathon in the U.S., one year after the event took place. Our goals were to understand people's motivations for participating, what impact (if any) their participation had on their lives, and how (if at all) their participation shaped how they now understand postpartum health. Our findings indicate that the hackathon functioned as a space of "feminist consciousness raising" in that it provided space for navigating and sharing personal experiences, contextualizing and connecting those experiences to structural oppression, and developing participants' self-and collective-efficacy to create design interventions and enact social change. Feminist consciousness raising is not just "awareness-raising", but rather a specific historic and contemporary practice which we describe and situate in relation to personal experiences of oppression around stigmatized topics. With these findings, we situate feminist consciousness raising in relation to the literature on hackathons and Feminist HCI, speculate which aspects of the design of the event led to it fostering feminist consciousness raising, and generate recommendations for how to intentionally bring feminist consciousness raising to the design of hackathons and innovation events. CCS Concepts: • Human-centered computing → Participatory design; • Social and professional topics → Race and ethnicity; Gender.

“…These pre-study efforts helped inform (and limit) our questionnaire design. We integrated this knowledge into previous design standards for conducting research with marginalized groups in HCI informed by Critical Race Theory (Delgado et al, 2001;Finda Ogbonnaya-Ogburu et al, 2020), Identity-Based Motivation Theory (Oyserman, 2008), historical materialist epistemologies, and phenomenological elicitation. Patricia Hill Collins (Hill Collins, 2002), Helen Cixous (Sellers, 2003), Frantz Fanon (Fanon et al, 2004), Peggy McIntosh (McIntosh, 2003, Dean Spade (Spade, 2015), and Audre Lorde (Lorde, 2012) inform the theoretical background and language used in survey to ensure a shared, preliminary understanding of stratified experiences.…”

Digital gaming's many benefits starkly contradict its well-cited toxicity. To accurately understand and compare how players cope with discriminatory stress in the context of play, 241 US players were surveyed on recurring sources of discrimination during gameplay and strategies for coping across ranging experiential prompts. Qualitative analysis created a taxonomy of discriminatory targets, discriminatory acts, and coping strategies specific to online digital play. We compare experiences, perceptions, and beliefs around coping across intersections of race, gender, and class (with notes on ability and age) and describe how player identities inform in-game behavior and exposure to types of discrimination and how coping strategies are navigated. We discuss the accumulative, anticipatory, and intergenerational nature of discriminatory stress in gaming, its stratified effects on well-being, and the role of discrimination in belief formation as well as ability to advocate for oneself and others.
