CFP: Imagining Intersectional Futures (CSCW Workshop - Submissions due Jan 8)
CFP: Imagining Intersectional Futures (CSCW Workshop) *Please feel free to forward!* CALL FOR PARTICIPATION Due: *January 8, 2017*. *Imagining Intersectional Futures: Feminist Approaches in CSCW* is a one day workshop to be held *Saturday, February 25* at the 2017 ACM Conference on Computer Supported Collaborative Work (CSCW 2017) in Portland, Oregon. We invite participants to join us for a one-day workshop to imagine intersectional futures in CSCW and beyond. The aim of this workshop is to explore theoretical and methodological approaches that help us consider issues of gender, sexual orientation, and power in the design of socio-technical systems. This workshop will build on two previous workshops on the topic of feminism and CSCW. With this instantiation, we are motivated by an explicit commitment to intersectionality—a recognition that the effects of various oppressions cannot be understood independently. Considerable time will be devoted to discussing work in post-colonial feminism, queer theory, Women of Color feminism, and feminist critical disability studies. Through generative conversation, feedback on works-in-progress, and the initiation of outlets for new feminist CSCW work, we aim to 1) build on existing research and practice and 2) identify concerns and approaches for both designing and assessing research oriented toward intersectional and feminist futures in the context of CSCW and social computing. During the workshop, participants will share their works in progress, join each other for a “walking seminar,” engage in zine making, and discuss future collaborations and research trajectories. If you are interested in joining us, please *submit a position paper* (2-4 pages in ACM Extended Abstract format <https://chi2017.acm.org/submission-formats.html>) and include an author biography with current research or potential goals of research. Papers will be selected via blind review based both on quality as well as breadth of perspective to ensure a broad conversation on gender. Accepted position papers will be circulated within the participant group prior to the workshop and—with permission—made available on the workshop website. Submissions and questions should be emailed to intersectionalfutures@gmail .com More information about the workshop can be found here: http://depts.washington.edu/tatlab/intersectionalfutures/ On behalf of… Sarah Fox, University of Washington Amanda Menking, University of Washington Stephanie Steinhardt, Cornell University Anna Lauren Hoffman, University of California, Berkeley Shaowen Bardzell, Indiana University Thanks! -Anna
