The first part of making our prototype was to break a commercially available A5 electric shredder. Shredit is a design concept for a tangible artifact for making phone calls more playful and inefficient. The artifact uses drawing and document shredding as the primary forms of interaction. It is built by deconstructing an electric shredder and connecting it to an Arduino with an LCD screen. To make a phone call, the user draws a dedicated symbol representing their contact on the artifact and ends the call by destroying the same. The user then experiences the destruction of their call as it is shredded into pieces.

The soil was compact, muddy, and pale, which indicates that growing conditions for food crops are not optimal. Figure 1 depicts the sample in its soil form and Figure 2 depicts it as a chromatogram developed in a chemical test. In this dialogue about, through, and with soil, we use soil samples from Sweden and India to discuss the mutual interdependence of soil health and just sustainability transitions from a feminist perspective. We describe how we have come to know our soil and what role information technologies play in this process. We also reflect on how the livelihood of people living in vulnerable conditions and extreme climates can be improved with soilcentered technology.

In this existential experience of being in the world, marked by ever-present otherness, we seek spaces of belonging where we feel at home. We find safe spaces by secluding ourselves in hermitage with those who are closest to us, or by escaping to surround ourselves with trees, communing with other living things that give us solidarity and sociality. But physically accessing these individual safe spaces is not always possible. When the normative rules and expectations of society corner us and make us feel threatened, we find ourselves seeking refuge in spaces carved out in the in-between of social norms—in subcultures, in bubbles, in small nooks, in third spaces that are neither here nor there. In this regard, digital third spaces are poignant in that they offer many of us access to sanctuary and a feeling of safety and belonging. Exploring our experiences in such spaces, we propose that by envisioning and designing for these digital in-betweens, we could approach design futures that move away from oppression, normativity, polarization, and alienation, and strive for care, interconnectedness, diversity, and solidarity. Critical theorist Homi K. Bhabha’s concept of third space [1] stems from his conception of hybridity in postcolonial Insights → Third spaces are liminal in the sense that they exist between a plethora of socially constructed binaries. → Third spaces are a necessary tool for ecofeminist designers that enable them to create spaces of shared solidarity imbued with ecological sensitivity.","PeriodicalId":73404,"journal":{"name":"Interactions (New York, N.Y.)","volume":"294 1","pages":"40 - 43"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41296575","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many times, the mutual recognition of our struggles was in itself helpful because it made us feel heard and less lonely. Even though we talked about work sometimes, the conversations happened as two friends checking in on each other. After a while, we started wondering about how other feminists were navigating their work and personal lives amid the Covid chaos. This eventually led us to co-organize a virtual workshop titled “Feminist Voices About Ecological Issues in HCI” at ACM CHI 2022 [2]. The workshop was co-organized by HCI researchers from nine different countries doing intersectional feminist work across cultural contexts on various several pro-environmental efforts across India. Jayanta Bandyopadhyay emphasizes that the Chipko movement was “a joint struggle based on gender collaboration...and not based on gender conflicts” [1]. Almost half a century later, the Chipko movement is often cited as a quintessential ecofeminist success story. We begin our preamble with this story as a reminder that feminist ecological interventions can be built based on collaboration between people of different genders. (See photo on page 22.) During the initial Covid quarantine measures of working from home, we had online conversations about what was going on around us and within us. Two friends chatted regularly for more than On March 25, 1974, Gaura Devi, elected leader of the Mahila Mangal Dal (women’s welfare association) in Reni village, Uttarakhand, India, along with 27 other women, led the Chipko movement to protect the local community forest from government-sanctioned lumbermen. Devi explains: “It was not a question of planned organisation of the women for the movement, rather it happened spontaneously. Our men were out of the village so we had to come forward and protect the trees.” The Reni Squad succeeded in chasing away the loggers after four days of vigilant nonviolent protest.
