About

P. L. Chambers is an emerging researcher at the intersection of human-computer interaction, speculative design, and more-than-human (MtH) ecologies. Their work explores how playful, participatory methods can reimagine relationships between technology, nature, and non-human actors—particularly in forest environments. Chambers’ most notable contribution is the speculative design workshop “Forest-Robot-Stormin’,” which brought together game designers, researchers, and technologists to envision forest-robot interactions through creative games. This work, published in 2025, has already garnered 1 citation, signaling early interest in their innovative approach to embedding playfulness into ecological technology design. By centering MtH perspectives, Chambers challenges anthropocentric assumptions in robotics and HCI, advocating for more reciprocal, empathetic interactions between humans, forests, and autonomous systems. Their research is particularly relevant for scholars interested in posthumanism, environmental computing, and participatory design. As an early-career researcher, Chambers is establishing a distinctive voice in speculative and critical design, with future work likely to further bridge ecological ethics and playful technology. Their contributions offer a fresh, imaginative lens for students and researchers seeking to integrate creativity, care, and more-than-human thinking into technology design.
