Abstract
As technology permeates people’s everyday lives, opportunities
arise for HCI to design, develop and research technologies that
focus on broader societal challenges such as sustainability, race,
gender, and power. Toward this end, we present the Troubling Cups,
a provocative design that makes trouble about unequal pay in a
work environment. The design was produced through a series of
workshops in which women discussed, identified and provotyped
trouble in their work environments. Through a small, two-day field
study, we explored if and how the provotype made trouble about
unequal pay in real-world settings, and how the participants stayed
with the trouble of unequal pay. We contribute to our research field
with the provotype itself, our qualitative findings, and with our
reflections and lessons learned on making trouble and staying with
the trouble through provotyping.
