ABSTRACT
This workshop discusses power, participation and the politics of PD. We propose a set of concepts and related questions for analyzing and deliberating these issues on the basis of participants' own experiences in PD projects. The conceptual framework we propose has been inspired by Schön's notion of 'design moves' and by Alfred Schütz' concept of choice. The PD experiences of workshop participants will be explored collaboratively with the aim of arriving at a deeper and more specific understanding of what the users participate in and how they can recognize their influence in the design result.

Does AI make PD obsolete?: exploring challenges from artificial intelligence to participatory design
PDC '18: Proceedings of the 15th Participatory Design Conference: Short Papers, Situated Actions, Workshops and Tutorial - Volume 2In this paper1, we explore if and how Artificial Intelligence (AI) challenges Participatory Design (PD). We base our analysis on the basic characteristics of AI and its subfield Machine Learning and discuss how and what kinds of design decisions users ...
FACIT PD: a framework for analysis and creation of intergenerational techniques for participatory design
CHI '13: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsIn this paper, we present a framework that describes commonly used design techniques for Participatory Design with children. Although there are many currently used techniques for designing with children, researchers working in differing contexts and in ...
Writing PD: accounting for socially-engaged research
PDC '18: Proceedings of the 15th Participatory Design Conference: Short Papers, Situated Actions, Workshops and Tutorial - Volume 2As participants in participatory process, PD academics report on the practices and outcomes of their work and thereby shape what is known of individual projects and the wider field of participatory design. At present, there is a dominant form for this ...
