Abstract

This paper describes the design and testing process of PluriCards – a card deck used to promote conversations about sustainable and digital futures. We address an existing need in the Global North for alternative ways of thinking about sustainability, building on concepts from the Global South, like the Pluriverse. Presenting the rationale and usages of the deck with students and researchers, we offer examples of how disparate participants are brought together and engaged in foreseen shared research directions that relate to alternative futures. We propose that ICT researchers and students can use PluriCards to challenge the prevailing digital exceptionalism that certain aspects of ICT development are presently benefiting from.
