[Air-L] [CHI'25 Workshop]: Advancing Post-growth HCI

[Sharma, Vishal]

Dear all,

We will be hosting a hybrid workshop on Advancing Post-growth HCI at CHI’25, and we invite you to participate!

————————————————————
This hybrid workshop in three phases—online sessions (~90 min) weeks prior and after an on-site session at CHI'25—seeks to advance conversations around Post-growth HCI by inviting researchers, designers, and practitioners to co-reflect on the impact of growth patterns in HCI and co-devise strategies to resist their influence. Sessions will be self-contained but in dialogue with each other, ensuring that participants can engage meaningfully by attending either or all components of the workshop. The online sessions will support greater participation from people across time zones and those concerned about the environmental, financial, or other costs of travel.

We encourage interested participants to submit a 300-500 word reflection in a single-column ACM template on how growth manifests in (or in their work in) HCI, along with an accompanying artifact (e.g., a photograph, poem, excerpt, or rough sketch) that illustrates what post-growth means or does not mean to them. Submissions should be made by February 13, 2025, through the form linked on our workshop website.

This workshop is an effort towards nurturing the Post-growth HCI Collective of scholars across borders, working in solidarity to challenge unjust and unsustainable growth narratives, and collaboratively envisioning a post-growth future in HCI and computing more broadly.
