*CALL FOR PARTICIPATION*
Enhancing resilience has been a long-standing mission in HCI research,
particularly in healthcare contexts. There has been a significant amount of
work on designing for resilience in health and wellbeing, although some of
the work may not directly use the term =E2=80=9Cresilience=E2=80=9D. For in=
stance, there
has been rich research concerning individuals=E2=80=99 adaptive practices i=
n the
face of adversity and how technology design can support stressful
situations such as chronic illness, carepartner burden, mental health
struggles, health infrastructural breakdown, and public health crises such
as the COVID-19 pandemic.

However, prior work has different conceptualizations of resilience (e.g.,
resilience as a personal trait vs resilience as a dynamic, ongoing
process), tackles resilience at different scales (e.g., individual, family,
community), and focuses on resilience as the ability to adapt to adversity,
which warrants a broader discussion and critical reflection. For example,
rather than considering resilience as adaptation to adversity, from a
social justice perspective, we may ask what creates adversity in the first
place and how researchers can approach related issues.

To broaden and deepen our understanding of and design for resilience in
health and wellbeing, this one-day workshop aims to bring together
researchers from diverse methodological, theoretical, and topical
backgrounds to critically reflect upon the epistemological stances on
resilience and foreground the notion of resilience in health and wellbeing
research, identify and characterize the research space situated at the
intersection of human-computer interaction (HCI), health informatics, and
design research, to form meaningful conversations across disciplinary
contexts, and to collectively envision a resilient health and wellbeing
research agenda.

Our workshop themes (Please refer to the workshop proposal for detail)
include:

   - Reflecting upon the diverse conceptualizations of resilience.
   - Designing for resilience from a social justice perspective.
   - Designing for multi-stakeholder resilience for individuals, families,
   communities, and society.

We invite researchers, interaction designers, health service users,
carepartners, and healthcare practitioners to *submit abstracts (300-500
words) or short papers (2-4 pages, plus references) *related to resilience
in health and wellbeing. *We welcome diverse types of submissions*, such as
design artifacts, work-in-progress or past research projects,
autoethnography, position statements, literature reviews, and case studies.

Topics include but are not limited to:

   - Individual, family, group, and community resilience in tackling health
   conditions and health service breakdowns.
   - Technology design to enhance resilience.
   - Activism in health and wellbeing.
   - Theoretical perspectives on resilience.

To submit, please format your work using the ACM Primary Article Template
and email it to [email protected] by May 31st, 2023.

The organizers will evaluate all the submissions. Authors of accepted
submissions will be notified by June 7th. These papers will form the basis
of the group discussions at the workshop. Accepted papers will be posted on
this website under the Creative Commons License (Attribution 4.0
International).

At least one author of each accepted submission must attend the workshop,
and all participants must register for the workshop (at least one day of
the conference). *We will support hybrid participation from both remote and
in-person attendees.* For questions about the submission process, please
contact us at [email protected].
