Embracing Cosmologies: Expanding Worlds of Participatory Design
Democratic and socially just practices of design have always foregrounded people as agents of socio-political change. In more recent years a growing recognition of other forms of participation beyond the human have emerged. These include participation not only from technological entities, such as AI and algorithms, but also participation with biophysical, ecological, and spiritual worlds. How we design equitably with these prescient entities is increasingly of concern for many participatory designers and researchers seeking to have meaningful impact. Through invoking a hopeful design of social justice that responds to multiplicity and relational interdependence, PDC 2022 will explore what it means to embrace cosmological approaches to participatory design. This means valuing different kinds of participatory alliances that span micro-organisms to eco-systems, micro-finance to global supply chains and circular economies, algorithmic data justice for individuals and distributed communities. We especially encourage submissions that respond to the following:
· Designing between (biophysical, spiritual, material and digital) worlds
· Sentipensar (feeling-thinking)
· Relational commons
· Activating protest against injustice
