Designing Smart for Sustainable Communities: Reflecting on the
Role of HCI for Addressing the Sustainable Development Goals
2 December 2019, Perth, Australia
http://www.designingsmart.com.au/
A workshop at the Australian Conference on Human-Computer
Interaction (OZCHI’19)
http://ozchi.org/2019/
=======================================
Submissions open until 20 October 2019
This workshop reflects on the role of the HCI community in
addressing sustainable development in cities, regional centres and
rural communities. The workshop will bring together academics,
researchers and practitioners to share their experiences,
expertise and visions for: (1) evolving HCI design approaches to
move beyond the individual; (2) re-engaging with institutions in
order to repoliticise HCI practices, projects and methods, and;
(3) counteracting depoliticisation in large parts of the design
field. We are specifically interested in ways of 'designing smart'
by engaging communities throughout the process of addressing
complex challenges, such as social inequality, economic disparity
and environmental degradation.
=======================================
Audience and Theme
The main objective of our workshop is to bring academic
researchers and practitioners together to explore and debate new
approaches for co-designing communities, cities, regional centres,
services and experiences of the future by engaging a variety of
people in the design process.
Submissions to this workshop should take the concept of designing
smart to the next level by exploring strategies, mechanisms,
stakeholders (and their roles), technologies, design approaches,
and methodologies that look at ‘scaling-up’ efforts to go beyond
sustainable development on an individual level and push and scale
up to the broader community, city, state, national or planetary
level. Specifically, submissions should either address systemic
issues pertinent across different layers, or align with one or
more of the UN sustainable development goals
https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/
Topics of interest for this workshop include but are not limited
to the following areas of HCI scholarship and inquiry:
- HCI, interaction design, participatory design that explore
political issues, such as designing for existential crises,
institutioning, re-politicising HCI
- HCI for civic design, community activism, community engagement
- HCI for smart engagement and smart city planning and design
- HCI and post-anthropocentric design, post-humanist design,
more-than-human futures
- HCI and sustainability
- HCI and new economic paradigms such as circular economy,
doughnut economics, degrowth, voluntary simplicity, prosperous
decent, cooperativism
=======================================
Participation
If you are interested in participation in the workshop, we ask you
to please email us a short abstract of approximately 200-500
words. This can take the form of a statement outlining your
interests, questions, insights, or current research or practice.
Submissions are open until 13 October 2019. Please email your
abstract to
hello@designingsmart.com.au
All submissions will be reviewed by the workshop organisers for
relevance. After the workshop, we will finalise our proposal for a
special issue in a high ranking journal on the subject.
