Within a pragmatic paradigm, in search of practical solutions to identified and agreed upon challenges, we acknowledge that technology design continuously creates new realities requiring novel interventions, designs and methods. We establish that inclusive and transcultural research and development collaborations with indigenous and marginalised communities contributes with new insights and perspectives to the dominating discourse of globalisation and localisation, thereby allowing for the design of alternative futures and knowledges. Positioned within a transforming interdisciplinary research context we further uncover tensions and ethical concerns around established methods and institutionalised research practices. Drawing from our numerous and distinct community technology research projects in Namibia and Borneo we highlight selected and anecdotal findings.
