Panel
During the panel, participants will engage in conversations with three invited panelists. The panel will be recorded and posted on the workshop website as a resource for the CLIHC community beyond the workshop. We will use the questions and topics addressed in the panel to elicit discussion during the actual workshop session. In particular, the panel will inform later work towards devising actionable paths for the HCI LATAM community to reflect on the structural problems that cause citational injustice issues within the region as well as in between the region and the field of HCI globally.
The panel will take place online on November 23rd at 2:00 pm (Sao Paulo Time), 12pm (Est).

Frederik van Amstel
Dr. Frederick (Fred) van Amstel (he/him/his) is Assistant Professor of Service Design and Experience Design at the Industrial Design Academic Department (DADIN), Federal University of Technology – Paraná (UTFPR), Brazil. His most recent research deals with the contradiction of oppression and the possibility of designing for liberation. Among the many projects he developed to explore this very possibility, Corais Platform stands out as the best example so far. Created in 2011, it hosts more than 700 collaborative projects run by social movements, indigenous communities, art collectives, and popular educators associated with the Brazilian digital culture movement. In 2020, Frederick co-founded the Design & Oppression network and has been busy with its expansion since then. http://fredvanamstel.com
