            Abstract

            This paper considers the ethico-political dimension of technology embedded in thanatosensitive design-orientated research in order to discuss how ‘framings’ of design situations could perpetuate the marginalisation of groups and topics within sensitive research contexts such as death. As a practitioner-researcher, I draw from the literature and my own critically reflective practice as a designer to outline framings, raise ethical and political aspects of their enactment and propose questions for consideration by the HCI community in sensitive contexts.
