As part of the CHI23 conference, Mennatullah Hendawy and Christoph Bieber are participating in the implementation of a workshop. A request for participation came from the Weizenbaum Institute in Berlin. The “call for participation” has been completed, now the search for/approach of suitable participants follows, deadline for submissions is 23.2.2023 (cf. workshop website below).
The event will take place during the CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems in Hamburg, 23-28 April 2023.
From the workshop description:
“The goal of the workshop is to develop a better understanding of why some civic tech initiatives fail and ask whether discontinued initiatives may still somehow contribute to social change and the growth of digital civics. A variety of subquestions around discontinued civic tech will be addressed in the workshop, including matters of participation, citizen science, public management, power structures and biases, and communication.”
