Identity Claims that Underlie Ethical Awareness and Action. Chivukula, S. S., Hasib, A., Li, Z., Chen, J., & Gray, C. M In Proceedings of the 2021 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, of CHI '21, pages 1–13, New York, NY, USA, May, 2021. Association for Computing Machinery.
Identity Claims that Underlie Ethical Awareness and Action [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
HCI and STS researchers have previously described the ethical complexity of practice, drawing together aspects of organizational complexity, design knowledge, and ethical frameworks. Building on this work, we investigate the identity claims and beliefs that impact practitioners’ ability to recognize and act upon ethical concerns in a range of technology-focused disciplines. In this paper, we report results from an interview study with 12 practitioners, identifying and describing their identity claims related to ethical awareness and action. We conducted a critically-focused thematic analysis to identify eight distinct claims representing roles relating to learning, educating, following policies, feeling a sense of responsibility, being a member of a profession, a translator, an activist, and deliberative. Based on our findings, we demonstrate how the claims foreground building competence in relation to ethical practice. We highlight the dynamic interplay among these claims and point towards implications for identity work in socio-technical contexts.
