``But Where Would I even Start?'' – Developing (Gender) Sensitivity in HCI Research and Practice. 2020.
abstract   bibtex   
Funding bodies more and more require researchers to address gender in their proposals —often framed around binary notions. With power structures emboldening inequality being highly prevalent and persuasive in Western societies, these seep into current practices of Computer Science and HumanComputer Interaction (HCI) research. Hence, developing an increased awareness of our societal responsibility towards equity can be challenging without an appropriate starting point. We present a close reading of literature discussing gender sensitivity in HCI research to provide practical guidance in the form of recommendations for the design, proposal, conduct and presentation of research. Our analysis provides a starting point for HCI students and interested researchers to explore questions and issues around gender and to identify how gender relates to their specific research questions. This sensitisation may then aid them in further reflecting on how they might better serve marginalised populations in their research.
