Abstract
What would linguistic diversity and inclusion look like for Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) research and researchers? As neurotypical and neurodiverse non-native- and native-English researchers, we conduct research in a variety of languages and contexts with diverse user groups and communities, and face several challenges when that research is written, read, reviewed, and published in English. In this paper, we present our first-person reflections on writing for research in English. We have two main goals: (1) to showcase the rich linguistic diversity of HCI research and researchers, and (2) to document challenges of translating socio-culturally nuanced findings and insights into English from other languages. This paper presents our vision of linguistic diversity and inclusion in HCI research at CHI - a mélange of thoughts utilizing diverse vocabularies and languages.
