Subject: CFP - PDC 2002 - the Participatory Design Conference
PDC 2002 - the Participatory Design Conference
"Participation and Design
Inquiring into the politics, contexts and practices
of collaborative design work "
June 23. - 25. 2002 -
School of Art and Communication,
Malmoe University,
Malmoe, Sweden
Sponsored by Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility
In cooperation with IFIP WG 9.1, Computers and Work
Held in conjunction with DIS 2002, Designing Interactive Systems
CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
Since 1990, the Participatory Design Conferences have brought
together researchers and practitioners from a variety of disciplines
and work traditions, probing the social scope and practices of design
of technology. A core concern has been to understand how
collaborative design processes can be based on participation of the
people affected by the technology designed.
The involvement of users and the focus on human-centered design,
addressing the design of technology 'through the interface', were
pioneered by contributions to the Participatory Design Conferences.
Debates within the participatory design community have contributed to
the development of a new IT design field emphasizing simultaneously
the need for thorough studies of the context of use, the relevance of
an open and participatory design process, and concern for the
political aspects of the technology in use.
Today the collaborative nature of the design process and the need to
involve a large variety of stakeholders has gained wider acceptance.
At the same time, a fundamental uncertainty concerning the scope and
directions for the design of technology has created a growing
interest in innovative approaches to participation and design.
With the theme Participation and Design, the Participatory Design
Conference 2002 invites researchers, designers and other
practitioners to present inquiries into the politics, contexts and
practices of collaborative design work. We invite contributions from
all design fields such as architecture, urban planning, engineering,
interaction design, and others (such as the fine arts) with a focus
on understanding collaborative design work.
Inquiring into the contexts of use is becoming increasingly important
as part of design work. Ethnographic approaches to field studies are
producing valuable insights into existing and emerging practices of
use, but the transition from what we learn from studies of work
practices and social interactions to the design of a system,
application or other design products remains poorly explored. Despite
a well-established literature on such approaches as contextual
inquiry, focus groups, and cooperative prototyping, the potential of
participatory approaches to design oriented practice studies is often
neglected in ethnographic approaches.
Altogether, collaborative design practices, although widespread, are
still not well understood. Design processes that are open to a large
and varied group of participants are lacking a firm grounding in
analysis of empirical studies and action research. How can the
organization of design processes in time and space accommodate
participation? What roles do coordinating artifacts play in
collaboration? How do design artifacts serve as bridges or barriers
to diverse users, including users with disabilities? What are the
effects of distributed design processes on patterns of participation?
What kinds of dialogues are possible between distributed design
practices vs. local design practices and national or regional
cultures? How does the local design process relate to the potential
global outreach of the design?
The politics of design must address questions about what can be and
what should be designed. In a user-centered design process the
distinction between the designed artifact, the context of use and the
process of design may become blurred. Where does the design practice
end, and the practice of use begin? When the technology is becoming
tailorable in use, what is it then relevant to design for? How does
participatory design work allow for redesign and participation in use
over time?
