Abstract
In this chapter, we foreground teaching for more-than-human values and perspectives in the design of technologies. The chapter addresses questions that come with our entanglement with complex social-ecological-technological systems, which challenge the very foundation of our teaching practices that, at present, heavily bank upon human-centred design approaches. Three concrete teaching activities on how to incorporate more-than-human perspectives in technology design teaching are presented, which serve as examples to illustrate certain challenges (e.g., what has to be unlearned to change our perspectives and attitudes toward more-than-human worlds?). We will further outline and discuss these challenges, as well as opportunities for future paths. The main takeaway from this chapter is two-fold; firstly, considerations in teaching for more-than-human values and perspectives in technology design, and secondly, concrete teaching activities to get started in this area.
