*Participatory Design Conference 2022 – 2nd Call for Participation (Full
Papers)*

Dear all,

As the organisers of the 17th biennial Participatory Design Conference (PDC
2022), we warmly invite contributions for Full Papers
<https://pdc2022.org/full-papers/> reporting on substantial and original,
unpublished research that advances Participatory Design (PD). Full Papers
are presented in single-track sessions (in usual circumstances) in the only
research conference exclusively dedicated to PD. Full Papers have a global
impact on the development of future theory, approaches and practices. We
welcome a variety of contributions, from theoretical and conceptual
elaborations, in-depth case study analysis, empirical insights from the
field, long term embedded design research and/or methodological innovation,
experimentation and reflection.

*Important dates*:

*18th October 2021* – Submission deadline for Full Papers
*17th December 2021* – Notification of first round reviews for Full Papers
(Revise and Resubmit or Reject)
*7th February 2022* – Submission deadline for revised Full Papers
*23rd April 2022* – Final notification for all submissions (Accept or
Reject)
*30th May 2022* – Camera ready papers deadline for accepted submissions

PDC Full Papers can be submitted on any topic or issue of relevance to
participatory design theory, practice or methods – however, we are
especially interested in soliciting submissions that relate to the
specific themes
of the 2022 conference <https://pdc2022.org/cfp/>:

*Embracing Cosmologies: Expanding Worlds of Participatory Design*

Democratic and socially just practices of design have always foregrounded
people as agents of socio-political change. In more recent years a growing
recognition of other forms of participation beyond the human have emerged.
These include participation not only from technological entities, such as
AI and algorithms, but also participation with biophysical, ecological, and
spiritual worlds. How we design equitably with these prescient entities is
increasingly of concern for many participatory designers and researchers
seeking to have meaningful impact.

Through invoking a hopeful design of social justice that responds to
multiplicity and relational interdependence, PDC 2022 will explore what it
means to embrace cosmological approaches to participatory design. This
means valuing different kinds of participatory alliances that span
micro-organisms to eco-systems, micro-finance to global supply chains and
circular economies, algorithmic data justice for individuals and
distributed communities.

We especially encourage submissions that respond to the conference themes,
including:

*Designing between (biophysical, spiritual, material and digital) worlds: *How
do we learn to listen differently and expand our perceptions of different
worlds? How can we be attentive and respond to the invisible? How do we
draw and blur boundaries around what is included and excluded in design if
everything is so interrelated? How do we define what kinds of knowledge are
worthy of exploration and what is not, and what are the problematics
associated with this? Who and what can speak in and for design?

*Sentipensar (feeling-thinking): *How can we enact and represent design
practice that is difficult to describe but is heartfelt and passionate? How
can we practice careful design that values emotional intelligence and
poetics in response to people, land and other species? How can we create
opportunities for generative design practice that integrates emotions,
rationality and forms of spirituality? How can we better attune to
different forms of expression in a socially just way?

*Relational commons: *What is included and excluded from the commons and
who gets to decide? How can we embrace and nurture local knowledges yet
speak and connect across boundaries, cultures and nations and traditions?
Does the relational commons look the same from anywhere? How do we work
through the impacts of colonialism and recognise the significance of
specific geography and territories on relational commons? How do we respect
and attune to experiences of relational commons when we are working
remotely or digitally?

*Activating protest against injustice: *What skills can participatory
designers bring to acts of protest and civil disobedience? How do designers
work through the moral and ethical complexities of social justice work in
meaningful ways? How do we design to allow for healing and grief as quiet
acts of solidarity and co-operation as protest? How can we find creative,
artful and productive forms of participatory design and protest that
challenge perceptions of activism? How can PD work improve understandings
between and bring oppositely positioned groups closer together in contexts
where right and wrong is in the eye of the beholder? How can we encourage
multiple voices and qualities of protest to embrace different technical
systems or species and forms of participation?

If you’d like to submit a Full Paper, please find more information about
how to submit your paper here <https://pdc2022.org/full-papers/>. And also
look on the website to find out about the emerging plans for the hybrid,
global format for PDC 2022 <https://pdc2022.org/places/>!

There will be calls for participation for other submission formats
(Exploratory Papers, Workshops and Situated Actions and more) later in 2021.
