Community wealth: Co-creating digital infrastructure for economic justice

Published: 01 July 2024 Publication History

Abstract

This research addresses economic inequality by investigating community wealth building (CWB) through digital tools for collaborative funding, employing an interdisciplinary approach merging insights from feminist economics, solidarity economy and human-computer interaction design (HCID). Through qualitative studies, the research explores participatory design methods like subversion and remix to foster grassroots involvement, advocating for cooperative principles and ethical considerations in DIS/HCI to promote economic justice, ultimately offering pathways for inclusive digital infrastructure and transformation in DIS/HCI research.
