CfP NordiCHI workshop Oct 4: Emancipatory HCI =E2=80=93 Exploring the energy=
 of transformation in participatory approaches

This workshop draws on the notion of emancipatory HCI, understood as an appr=
oach to design and research that actively challenges systems of domination a=
nd supports agency, justice, and alternative futures. From this perspective,=
 participation is revisited as a transformative practice, where emancipation=
 is not a stable outcome but a dynamic force; a =E2=80=9Cpulse=E2=80=9D that=
 emerges, circulates, and at times dissipates within participatory processes=
. The workshop creates space to reflect on tensions, ambivalences, and the c=
onditions under which emancipatory practices can be sustained or reactivated=
 in contemporary socio-technical contexts. Through embodied scenarios and co=
llaborative mapping, participants will explore challenges and strategies for=
 sustaining emancipatory engagement, particularly in contexts characterized =
by power asymmetries and institutional constraints, as well as by emerging t=
echnological conditions such as AI and data infrastructures.

We welcome researchers and practitioners working with participation, power, =
and transformative design practices. Bring your cases, dilemmas, and critica=
l reflections  and help explore where emancipation can be found today.

To participate submit a 1=E2=80=932 page position paper describing a case wh=
ere emancipatory ambitions in your research and/or practice were constrained=
, redirected, or neutralized: https://forms.gle/g5J4DqeffpFPRw1n7

Deadline August 4 (Notification of acceptance August 10)
