Our workshop discussion is anchored in a central question: as individual researchers, practitioners, and activists, in what ways does our work, and the research-related institutions we operate within, work against and toward environmental and climate justice movements?
To respond to this question, we invite contributions on the following themes:
1. Datafication Imaginaries: Reflections or analysis on the ways data and technology are designed, structured, implemented and disseminated to work toward or against environmental or climate justice outcomes;
2. Visibility and beyond: Analysis on the role and relevance of visibility as intervention, as well as the potential for CSCW to support more radical interventions (e.g., land back, prison abolition) as an approach to environmental and climate justice outcomes;
3. Towards Critical Environmental Justice: Identification of communities (including more than humans) and types of social difference that have been marginalized by traditional notions of sustainability in CSCW;
4. Methodologies: Opportunities or limitations of existing methodological practices in CSCW (e.g., participatory design, co-production etc.) or academic norms (data collection, paper publication) towards advancing environmental and climate justice.
