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 at gmail
.com
