We reflect on the design of a multispecies world centred around a be-spoke enclosure in which three cats and a robot arm coexist for six hours a day during a twelve-day installation as part of an artist-led project. In this paper, we present the proj... Read More about Designing Multispecies Worlds for Robots, Cats, and Humans.

Charting Ethical Tensions in Multispecies Technology Research through Beneficiary-Epistemology Space (2024)
Conference Proceeding
Benford, S., Mancini, C., Chamberlain, A., Schneiders, E., Castle-Green, S., Fischer, J., …Ju, R. F. (in press). Charting Ethical Tensions in Multispecies Technology Research through Beneficiary-Epistemology Space.

While ethical challenges are widely discussed in HCI, far less is reported about the ethical processes that researchers routinely navigate. We reflect on a multispecies project that negotiated an especially complex ethical approval process. Cat Royal...
