CFP: Position Statements @ UBICOMP 2015
Workshop on Participatory Design and the Humanist Landscape
Osaka, Japan # September 7-8, 2015
(right before UBICOMP and ISWC – Sept. 9-11)
Submissions due: June 19th, 2015
*WORKSHOP GOALS*
This workshop (held in conjunction with the UBICOMP 2014: The 2014 ACM International Joint Conference on Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing and ISCW 2014: The 18th International Symposium on Wearable Computers) will bring together researchers and practitioners to reflect on the use of participatory design methods, especially in the context of design for wellbeing. Delegates will reflect both on the user experience of being part of such methods, and on the design team experience, in line with recent calls for reflexivity in HCI. The workshop will enable delegates to situate their practice in the broader context of humanistic psychotherapy research, and implications for research methodologies and professional development will be discussed. Delegates will experience and practice attitudes and tools (based on Interpersonal Process Recall) for reflection on team working and relational aspects of participatory design. The workshop will contribute to the development of a person-centred framework for participatory and co-design research.
