Hi Everyone! Following Casey Fiesler's earlier email promoting CSCW, I'd like to invite you to participate in our workshop: Solidarity Across Borders: Navigating Intersections Towards Equity and Inclusion, which will take place at the CSCW conference on *Sunday, Nov. 4.* We seek participation from individuals who engage in research and practice with marginalized communities, particularly those who pursue research on feminism, intersectionality, social justice, and global development (be it in the Global North or South). We also welcome participation from the broader CSCW community interested in learning more about these topics. We are currently accepting submissions and are on a rolling deadline. Please submit position papers via email to cscwsolidarity@gmail.com by 3 pm EDT on Friday, September 28, 2018. There is more info below the fold and more details may be found on our website: http://cscwsolidarity.com. Thanks! Michaelanne Dye (On behalf of my co-organizers: Neha Kumar, Ari Schlesinger, Marisol Villacres, Morgan Ames, Rajesh Veeraraghavan, Jacki O'Neill, Joyojeet Pal, and Mary L. Gray) More Info: Potential participants are asked to submit 2-4 page position papers in CHI extended abstract format <https://sigchi.org/templates/> that that articulates your positionality, describes your research area, and comments on how you find yourself in solidarity (or not) with others doing work in this area. Potential topics include (but are not limited to): - Definitions and conceptualizations of marginalization, intersectionality, and/or social justice - The potential role of solidarity within and across specific research areas - Vulnerable/marginalized/under-served communities’ experiences of information technologies - Examples of CSCW work being conducted “at the margins” - Work on the intersecting margins of power structures related to gender, race, caste, class, etc. - Reflections on methods for connecting marginalized communities (and researchers) across geographies - Original and reflective submissions from all types of scholars and practitioners working both in the center and the periphery of the CSCW research space who want to foster solidarity Submissions will be accepted based on the relevance and development of the chosen topic, as well as their potential to contribute to the workshop discussions and goals. Papers will be peer-reviewed by the workshop organizers. At least one author of each accepted paper will need to register for this workshop, along with at least one day of the CSCW2018 conference <https://cscw.acm.org/2018/attend/registration.html>, with the registration code we will provide. Workshop registrations can always be added via the RegOnline portal <https://www.regonline.com/registration/Checkin.aspx?EventID=2158075>, even after participants have already registered for the conference. -- *Michaelanne Dye* *Ph.D. Candidate, Human-Centered Computing* Georgia Institute of Technology *e: mdye@gatech.edu <mdye@gatech.edu>* *t: @michaelannedye <http://twitter.com/michaelannedye>*
