Designing for Digital Inclusion: A Post-Hoc Evaluation of a Civic Technology.
SocInfo(2017)
摘要
Digital inequalities are a major obstacle in diversifying the public discourse on the Internet. To explore the potential of a system design to help bridging digital inequalities across gender and race, we conducted a post-hoc evaluation of design decisions within a civic technology that were particularly dedicated to increase participation of women and people of color. While many aspects of digital inequality stay unresolved, our results provide evidence in support of such dedicated design decisions. Our work also makes a methodological contribution by providing an approach to use external public data sets to supplement user demographic data, without which studies of digital inclusion could only rely on self-reported, potentially biased data. We discuss the empirical and ethical implications of our research approach and results.
