从认识到计算用户在社会和文化上处于空间和地点[18]，到当代第三波（及以后）人机交互（HCI）研究认识到技术的普遍性及其与环境、身份和主体地位的关系[8,19,20]，计算的位置长期以来一直是人机交互（HCI）及其相关学科的关注点。然而，计算研究走出大城市大学 [3] 和企业的实验室和走廊的速度却很缓慢。此外，计算研究人员一直不愿跳出工程和技术进步的规范和有害框架进行思考，这些进步嵌入在推动当代信息时代的增长叙述中[2]。本期特刊提供了另一种叙述，即计算与乡村的交叉。虽然农村地区只是我们研究的一种背景，但它们在文化、社会和经济方面都很复杂，并且居住着世界近一半的人口。尽管人机交互研究从一开始就对这些农村地区进行了卓有成效的研究[17]，但农村地区往往是从赤字模型来研究的。正如我们在本次电话会议中指出的那样，最近的人机交互奖学金开始扩大农村社区业已创新的实践和机会。例如，关于社会技术对生活在农村城镇的 LGBTQ 人群的作用的研究 [14, 16]、农村的农业实验和社会技术干预这项工作得到了国家科学基金会通过职业补助金 IIS-1845964 的部分支持。作者地址：NM Su，Luddy 信息学、计算和工程学院，印第安纳大学伯明顿分校，919 E 10th St, Bloomington, IN 47408；电子邮件：normsu@indiana。教育； J.

From the recognition that computing users are socially and culturally situated in space and place [18] to the contemporary third (and beyond) waves of human–computer interaction (HCI) research that recognize the ubiquity of technology and its relationship with context, identity, and subject position [8, 19, 20], the location of computing has long been a concern of HCI and its related disciplines. Yet, computing research has been slow to leave the labs and hallways of big metropolitan universities [3] and corporations. Furthermore, computing researchers have been reticent to think outside the normative and harmful framings of engineering and technological progress embedded in the growth narratives that drive the contemporary Information Age [2]. This special issue offers an alternative narrative, one in which computing intersects with rurality. While rural places are just one context in which to locate our research, they are culturally, socially, and economically complex, and home to nearly half of the world’s population. Though HCI research has fruitfully looked to these rural places since its earliest days [17], rural places have often been approached from a deficit model. As we set out in this call, more recent scholarship in HCI has instead begun to amplify the already innovative practices and opportunities of rural communities. For example, research on the role of social technologies for LGBTQ people living in rural towns [14, 16], agricultural experimentation and sociotechnical interventions in ruralThis work was supported in part by the National Science Foundation through CAREER grant IIS-1845964.
