Dear all, Together with several colleagues of our COST action on the collaborative economy (http://sharingandcaring.eu/), we are happy to announce a call for participation (CfP) for the NordiCHI 2020 workshop on sharing, cooperatives, economics, and design. NordiCHI is the main Nordic forum for Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) research, held bi-annually. "NordiCHI addresses the field broadly and is a meeting place for researchers from academia and industry, designers, practitioners, educators and others working within HCI and related disciplines.” (nordichi2020.org) We invite scholars, designers, and activists with a background in computing, design, economics, sociology, anthropology and beyond to participate in our workshop. The CfP is below, the submissions are lightweight and the remote attendance is possible. The NordiCHI 2020 workshop “Sharing & Cooperativism: Designing for Economies” aims to bring together practitioners and scholars working at the intersection of sharing, cooperativism, and design. By turning to sharing and cooperativism, we imagine building systems in relation to the wider social and political structures surrounding these concepts. Yet, in sharing and cooperativism, less emphasis is given to the possibilities that design can bring to the emerging interactions at the intersections of social, cultural, and economic issues. A progressive approach is needed to uncover the relationship of sharing and cooperativism to new design paradigms that allows us to move towards an alternative understanding of economies through design. Our aim is to ground this discussion through a design workshop that is well-aligned with the historical, political, and economic infrastructures in order to shape the relationship of design and economics in the context of sharing and cooperativism. We call for participants from diverse backgrounds to contribute to a critical discussion at the intersection of design, sharing, cooperativism, and economics on the workshop's thematic areas: (i) Local relational assets in sharing; (ii) Global sharing cultures, and (iii) Design beyond markets for sharing and cooperativism.
