๐ฑI am actively looking for PhD students interested in community-based design work. Our work will lean towards participatory design and focus on institutional and social change. If you know someone who would be interested, please share this with them!

@charleswlogan Exactly! There is a huge expectation of human malleability in the face of machine's rigidity. In fact, that malleability is seen as the 21st century skill (or else you will fall behind!). We have moved far far away from seeing machines as things to reduce human load!

@UpolEhsan @kashif_imteyaz @kashif_imteyaz thank you for adding the paper. @UpolEhsan I intended to set an agenda for participatory design, hoping to ensure that we can move beyond participatory-washing. Adding to this, @Abebab and team's Power to the People paper is amazing!:

None of these would have been possible without Tariq and Heike leading the organizing efforts. I was the Hybrid chair for the conference, but with such an incredible local team from the University of Technology Sarawak (UTS), I had very little to do.

We (with @gopinaathtweets, @GwydionsTrix, and Deborah Tatar) are organizing a hybrid workshop on surfacing conflicts in Participatory Design at #PDC2024. We aim to reflect on methodologies and discuss ways to surface and hold on to conflicts in design engagements. Join us! ๐ซฐ๐พ
