“…Reflecting on these challenges and on previous HCI4D research understanding rural women's needs, our study extends existing research on digital maternal health [72,99,111,138,141,144], indigenous communities [8,57] and postcolonial computing [136] as the health needs and experiences in LATAM contexts still remain poorly understood in HCI4D and health research [20,135].…”

“…Most digital health initiatives focus on helping community health workers to gather accurate data during home visits, enhance screening and information-seeking practices, visualization of tasks and facilitate communication with women [34,35,76,104,145]. While the digital transformation in maternal health is opening up opportunities for HCI research for development (HCI4D) in South Africa [28,50,100,133], Kenya [113,114], Pakistan [12,99,127], India [35,64,72,73], Bangladesh [138], Lebanon [140,141], Uganda and Tanzania [68], there is limited research looking at women's experiences during pregnancy complications [12] and among indigenous communities [8,57] and Latin America as a region remains unexplored for HCI4D research in healthcare [19,135].…”

Previous research has explored the potential use of digital health to support maternal health in the Global South highlighting the importance of understanding the socio-cultural context to inform system design. However, the experiences of indigenous women managing pregnancy complications in Latin America remain underexplored in HCI. We present a qualitative study with 25 indigenous pregnant women in an Ecuadorian rural community looking at their experiences during complications, their antenatal care visits and their access and use of technologies. Our findings highlight key barriers that hinder the use of antenatal care services and influence women's experiences managing complications. Based on the findings, we present opportunities for digital health centered on indigenous women to enhance antenatal care in rural Ecuador.

“…Such an in-depth understanding of the context is then applicable to ISDC research based on two reasons. First, it has been recognized that ISDC research primarily concentrates on the "Global South" regions such as Asia, Africa, and America Latin (Gomez, 2013;Stratton & Nemer, 2020). The population residing in these continents is characterized by different cultural values, institutions, philosophies from the western context (Barkema et al, 2015;Sastry & Ross, 1998).…”

Research on information systems (IS) in developing countries focuses on understudied contexts that recent scholars believe have the potential to provide new knowledge. However, the extant discussion on this endeavor rarely considers IS scholars inside the developing countries who could be the ideal discoverers of such context-specific knowledge. In this study, we review the facilitating conditions of the discovery of new theories to examine IS research in the case of Indonesia. We then interview experienced Indonesian IS scholars to develop a richer understanding of the IS scholarship's conditions. We found that while considering and theorizing context have been interests by a small group, the extant efforts are intertwined by the lack of exposure to myriad research epistemology/methodology, the infancy state of IS as a discipline, and the tendency to address convenient rather than crucial research questions, all of which are manifested in a complex institutional environment. We then provide important pathways and future agendas to strengthen and advance IS scholarship in developing countries.

“…This confirms the conclusions of a recent meta-analysis of publications at the CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI), the most prominent HCI publication venue globally: "CHI is studying and designing technology for 11.8% of the world's population. " [15]. In a perfectly just knowledge production system, research on cultures from around the world could be compared alongside one another rather than with implicit reference to a "developed" or "western context".…”

“…This reproduction of North-centric epistemologies and standards are further perpetuated by the production machinery for disseminating knowledge that concentrates on a single grand narrative and struggles to countenance competing and contradictory schools of thought [1,17]. For example, a large percentage of HCI conference attendees are based in the Global North [16] and they also control a significant portion of the publishing in the Global South [15]. Consequently, a majority of HCI journals and their authors are also concentrated in the North and community norms-like what makes a publishable technological intervention-become shaped by standards appropriate to only a small portion of the planet.…”

Citations are nodes in the networks of knowledge we create. Portals to conversations with the past and bonding material with the scholarship of the present. Choosing who we cite is a practice signaling who we recognize and respect as a knowledge source. Therefore, we recognize citations as a relational practice. As this relational characteristic of citing is mediated by wealth we distribute across those who we cite, it is imperative to interrogate how just these practices are. Thus, we ought to engage with Citational Justice. Building on recent work discussing citational practices within HCI, we use the opportunity of this workshop to expand this conversation into deeper reflection on how we cite and the practices and infrastructures surrounding citations. Our goal with this workshop is two-fold. First, to create a common language to collectively reflect, interrogate our own citational practices and reverberations, while fleshing out concrete steps to make these practices just in our work and communities we are part of. Second, to invite participants to re-imagine citational practices and the systems and infrastructures necessary to make such practices feasible. We invite a diverse group of participants from the CLIHC community interested in * All authors contributed in diverse, yet vital ways, rendering author order meaningless. We center the collective representing our ideas, before listing individuals in alphabetical order by first name. A detailed explanation of authors' roles is provided in section 5.
