Human–computer interaction scholars are increasingly touching on topics relatedto politics or democracy. As these concepts are ambiguous, an examination ofconcepts’ invoked meanings aids in the self-reflection of our research efforts. Weconduct a thematic analysis of all papers with the word ‘politics’ in abstract,title or keywords (n=378) and likewise 152 papers with the word ‘democracy.’We observe that these words are increasingly being used in human-computerinteraction, both in absolute and relative terms. At the same time, we show thatresearchers invoke these words with diverse levels of analysis in mind: the earlyresearch focused on mezzo-level (i.e., small groups), but more recently the workhas begun to include macro-level analysis (i.e., society and politics as played inthe public sphere). After the increasing focus on the macro-level, we see a tran-sition towards more normative and activist research, in some areas it replacesobservational and empirical research. These differences indicate semantic differ-ences, which – in the worst case – may limit scientific progress. We bring thesedifferences visible to help in further exchanges of ideas and human–computerinteraction community to explore how it orients itself to politics and democracy.

“…Although there are games focusing on processing grief from deaths like in That Dragon, Cancer (2016) [3], there are no games which centre on eco-grief which is described as a "slow and cumulative grief without end -unlike a human death." [8] Previous HCI literature supports using game mediums in climate science dissemination with stakeholder collaboration and storytelling such as in World without Oil (2007) and Future Coast (2014) [5], but Illuminate takes storytelling a step further to link concerns to specific actions which can be done in the present for change. Presenting climate solutions in practice and theory such as policy and technological strategies can be a more constructive way to teach climate science.…”

Increasing negative media about climate change and ecological loss has evoked feelings of hopelessness and loss for the future in youth. We created Illuminate in response, a mobile game which leverages resource management and storytelling to instill grounded hope and inspire climate action for youth in Canadian classrooms through climate simulations. Illuminate tackles the under-explored topic of eco-grief from media in HCI and asks players to informatively invest in environmental strategies which reflect real life economic costs and environmental impacts in key Canadian contexts. This paper describes Illuminate's conception to release and presents a game designed to motivate learning through meaningful simulations for grounded hope and action. CCS CONCEPTS • Human-centered computing → Interaction design.

This pictorial describes in detail the design, and multiple iterations, of PizzaBlock -a role-playing game and design workshop to introduce non-technical participants to decentralised identity management systems. We have so far played this game with six different audiences, with over one hundred participants -iterating the design of the artefacts and gameplay each time. In this pictorial, we reflect on this RtD project to unpack: a) How we designed artefacts and roleplay to explore decentralised technologies and networks; b) How we communicated the key challenges and parameters of a complex system, through the production of a playable, interactive, analogue representation of that technology; c) How we struck a balance between playful tangible gameplay and high-fidelity technical analogy; and d) How approaches like PizzaBlock invite engagement with complex infrastructures and can support more participatory approaches to their design.
