Abstract

Culture is the core of humanity. Yet, it is also one of the most challenging things to define. The Cultural and Regional Perspectives section consists of manuscripts that dig deep into human emotions, theory, and technological contexts. These manuscripts seek to provide a window into the human struggle to understand and engage technological representations of culture and across cultures. While culture may take different faces within each manuscript, the overall goal of the section is to broaden readers’ notions of culture and how culture impacts and is impacted by technology in the context of the broad learning, design, and technology fields.
