Special Issue Theme: Perspectives on participatory HCI research:
Beginnings, middles and endings
Website: http://di.ncl.ac.uk/participation/special-issue/
Deadline for submissions: 31 July 2013
Participation is a research area of sustained interest to the
HCI community. Traditionally, the term has been used to suggest a
democratized approach to the design of technology that calls for end-user
involvement in the design process. This may vary from researchers inviting
specific users or stakeholders to participate in design workshops, through
to long term engagements with communities to define research questions and
study deployments of new technologies. As HCI is an interdisciplinary
field, however, there are multiple understandings of what participation
in research might mean, from subjects and disciplines such as social
science, participatory and performance arts, international development, and
action research. Beyond these influences, there is also increased pressure
from funding bodies and public institutions to involve a wider spectrum of
the public in academic research. The convergence of these factors has
drawn attention to the potential benefits and challenges, both theoretical
and practical of involving users and the public in HCI research.

It is with great pleasure that we announce the call for papers for the 6th
Information Design International Conference [CIDI], which is a joint event
with the 5th Brazilian Conference of Information Design and the 6th
Information Design Student Conference [CONGIC].
The former two are biannual scientific events promoted by the Brazilian
Society of Information Design [SBDI], with the aim of bringing together
professionals, researchers and students to discuss information design
issues. The Information Design Student Conference [CONGIC], on the other
hand, is a scientific event directed towards students and recently
graduated professionals, who have developed research in this field.

Good Things and Bad Things (June 2013, Nottingham
UK)<http://designcalls.wordpress.com/2013/03/22/1421/>
MARCH 22, 2013
*Save the Date* for
* ‘Good Things and Bad Things’*
Symposium in Nottingham on 10th/ 11th June 2013.
The programme will bring together a range of approaches to the ‘rights and
wrongs’ of designs, designers and designing, hearing perspectives from *
Design *(Jana Scholze, Victoria and Albert Museum), *Sociology *(Tim Dant,
University of Lancaster), *Social Anthropology *(Mike Anusas, U of
Strathclyde), *Art *(Gene-George Earlé), *Design History* (Ralph Mills,
MMU), among others.
The good/ bad things in question include *guns*, things in questionable *
taste*, *immaterial* things, *sportified* things,*criminal* things… among
others.
We intend to start discussion about these as crossing points between ideas
of virtue, propriety, moral conduct and the agency of material and
immaterial objects. This will connect both with debates from *object
orientated philosophy*, and about designs as manifestations of social and
cultural practices.
‘Good Things’ is Hosted by Nottingham
Contemporary<http://www.nottinghamcontemporary.org/>,
to coincide with the exhibition ‘The Universal Addressability of Dumb
Things<http://ticketing.southbankcentre.co.uk/find/hayward-gallery-and-visual-arts/hayward-touring/future/the-universal-addressability-of-dumb-things>’
curated by Mark Leckey and is a collaboration between the Design Research
Society OPENSiG (objects, practices, experiences, networks), Nottingham
Trent University, the Design against Crime Research Centre at Central St.
Martins and Nottingham Contemporary.

Cumulus Dublin Conference 2013: More for less – design in an age of
austerity (Nov 2013, Dublin
Ireland)<http://designcalls.wordpress.com/2013/03/19/cumulus-dublin-conference-2013-more-for-less-design-in-an-age-of-austerity-nov-2013-dublin-ireland/>
MARCH 19, 2013
Dates: 7-9 November 2013
Location: National College of Art and Design, Dublin, Ireland
Website: www.cumulusdublin.com
Deadline for submission of abstracts: 31 May 2013
Today’s global recession forces design practice, research and education to
address a number of questions:
- Consumption – How can design find a balance between excess and
austerity
- Growth – How can design stimulate sustainable economic growth?
- Research – Is design research and development a luxury we can still
afford?
- Education – How can we change pedagogical content and delivery methods
to become more efficient while maintaining standards?
- Environments – How can we use design to create places and spaces for
renewal and growth?
- Wellbeing – How can design improve our wellbeing and welfare in the
face of public sector cuts and financial hardship?
- Communities – How can design bring local communities together to work
on projects that improve how we live, work and play?
We propose that in the deepest recession since the great depression of the
1930s we need to turn the modernist mantra ‘less is more’ on its head as
the reduced budgets of governments, business and people demand ‘more for
less’, and develop a ‘New Deal’ for design.

J Learning Design special issue: Technology: A Mobilising Force for a
Radical Design Pedagogy (June
2013)<http://designcalls.wordpress.com/2013/03/17/j-learning-design-special-issue-technology-a-mobilising-force-for-a-radical-design-pedagogy-june-2013/>

Deadline for submissions: 24 June 2013
The Journal of Learning Design is an open-access multidisciplinary forum
concerned with innovative technology and pedagogy in higher education.
*Provocation and Call for Papers:*
In relation to architectural pedagogy, Beatriz Colimina writes that it
“…has become stale. Schools spin old wheels as if something is happening
but so little is going on. Students wait for a sense of activist engagement
with a rapidly evolving world but graduate before it happens…There is no
real innovation” (AR The Architectural Review, 28th September, 2012). While
Beatriz is talking specifically about architectural education, could the
same be said of design education across the design disciplines? Assuming
this is the case, this special edition calls for submissions that regard
technology and the increasing demand to integrate technology in design
teaching in higher education as a catalyst for radically questioning and
challenging existing design curricula, pedagogy and learning and teaching
environments. In this regard it invites a broadening of how we
conceptualise and regard technology to one that encompasses the wider
professional, social, environmental and pedagogical context in which it is
situated, and the possibility for fundamental and innovative changes in the
way teachers teach design and students learn design.

Thinking Greece, Thinking Futures: Urmadic University HotHouse 3 (June
2013, Greece)<http://designcalls.wordpress.com/2013/03/16/thinking-greece-thinking-futures-urmadic-university-hothouse-3-june-2013-greece/>
MARCH 16, 2013
Dates: 27-30 June 2013
Location: Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, School of Architecture
Website: http://www.theodessey.org/
Deadline for submission of expressions of interest: 15 April 2013
Following the 1st Hothouse in Brisbane (July 2011) and the 2nd Hothouse in
Paris (July 2012), Hothouse 3 aims to liberate thinking and initiate
projects that inquire upon, and even begin to reverse, the conditions and
principles through which Greece exists in a state of crisis. The intent of
‘Hothouse’ 3 is to bring together a dynamic collection of people from
Greece and around the world in order to confront these issues in a
structured way; this conversation will be grounded in the identification
and elaboration of local agendas, aiming to think and initiate specific
projects from which beginnings and directions can grow.
This is an Urmadic University project. Each year the Hothouse moves
progressively according to its context: Hothouse 3 is different in the fact
that instead of talking about problems to be faced, it is actually situated
in a problem.
Expressions of interest to participate in the event are invited from:
1. Disenfranchised Greek intellectuals/designers of all ages
disenchanted by the current local status quo, interested in new thinking
and critical practices (limited to 20 places)
2. Members of the Urmadic University Network (limited to 20 places)
Place numbers are open to revision (based on the volume of expressions
received/selection). The event will be conducted in English.
Further information on the previous Hothouses and the Urmadic University
can be found at http://www.theodessey.org/
