CFP – extended deadline 20 April - PDC2020 virtual workshop
We invite proposals for a full day virtual and interactive workshop Decolonising Participatory Design Practices: Towards Participations Otherwise, part of Participatory Design Conference PDC2020. The workshop engages participants in discussions of how we generate plural understandings and epistemological views through the use of PD approaches. Grounded by the PDC 2020 theme Participation(s) otherwise, the workshop aims to look beyond traditional PD narratives to more adoptable PD approaches and methods within a transcultural and transdisciplinary mode. A central aim of the workshop will be to gather a diversity of decolonising practices; methods, concepts and approaches applied in diverse global contexts, that demonstrate research and knowledge practices for plural epistemologies, marginalised voices, complex and situated socio-political and historical contexts through participatory processes.
Researchers interested in decolonising PD should submit a 1-2 page position paper describing examples of rich on-the-ground research cases that demonstrate decolonising approaches and practices to design and technology. Participants are requested to elaborate on their own practical experience, or conceptualisations of practical applications, as well as provide suggestions for possible methods, techniques and concepts aiming at embracing multiple epistemologies in design and knowledge production. We wish to attract diverse participants that represent a global community of PD researchers working in different contexts and domains.
The 16th PDC biennial series, is the premier venue for research in Participatory Design, and and will take place from 15-19 June. Due to the current situation the workshop will be virtual and lower fees for participation will be announced.
